I Mean, Why Not

gibberish for the sake of gibberish

swagger dagger

fashion kills

pitter patter

passing thrills

chitter chatter

words with skill

what's the matter

take a pill

climb the ladder

fit the bill

flatter blabber

ease the guilt

bar-room stagger

standing still

carpetbagger

selling swill

wallets fatter

feeling ill

raise the wager

seal the deal

nail and hammer

real appeal

poisonous viper

nerves of steel

candy striper

time to kill

cyclone rider

with training wheels

cigarette lighters

on window sills

out all nighters

late night chills

second chancers

motives concealed

questions answered

plots revealed

par substandard

inviting squeals

honor slandered

and squeaky wheels

if you've wandered

through these gibberish feels

no need to wonder

I give no guarantees

    So how many drinks had you had Kelli? 😉 When I was little my sister and I used to walk along a wall at the beach yabbering absolute gibberish to one another. Brought back memories thank you.

  • Neither do I. Got none to give, lol.

    Snappy, sharp, and sly—feels like a ride through chaos with a grin. Loved the rhythm.

  • There are some great lines in here that would be excellent for the Tattoo challenge!
