There’s a ‘what’s it?’in the shower
and a ‘who’s it?’ in the hall
a ‘where’s it?’ in the tower
A ‘why’s it?’ hiding in my shawl
Conundrums in the wardrobe
polls under the stairs
riddles in my ear lobe
Questions, questions everywhere!
Doubting Thomas in the larder
spouting promises of woe
Spinning Jenny knits uncertainty
What a martyr is that Sloppy Joe!
Adam’s apple is all jelly
Achilles feels like a heel
Even Steven’s a nervous Nellie
Great Scott’s lost his zeal
Until Nan Tucket dissolves buckets of Muckety-muck
terminates a truckload of lame-duck bad luck
Disquiet disappears rather snappy
Minds find their way back to ‘Yippee!’ happy
Nice wordplay! Very cute!

Fun poem. Is it called a “diddle?” Or is a diddle a riddle? 😀

Thanks, I was feeling rather silly. I’m not sure, I think a diddle is a con?

Great fun !! I like the old word combinations that pop up in new places. My favorite one is Nan Tucket’s bucket.

Glad the disquiet disappeared at the end! A joyous poem – thank you!
We have just been to Lake St Clair in Tasmania. It is the most serene place I have been to – fantastic! We had a cabin overlooking the lake.
This is my first visit to the Apple Isle and it is amazingly beautiful! Have a happy day! 😊✈️

Hope the storm is not too bad. I am in Strahan now and wifi is quite slow!

We are at Cradle Mountain now. This place is so beautiful. I don’t know if you have been here yet, but it is well worth it! Tonight we went to a Tasmanian Devil park – those critters are so gorgeous! 😊

It’s a magical place. I camped there and Tassie Devils were just running about. It was grand! I don’t have the photos anymore though, so I’m really enjoying yours. 😀
