A more than slightly crazy dabbler, Hair mussed, bedabbled clothes: “I am suffering from andabatism! So I must call someone who knows!” He hastily phoned the dabster: “I've heard you’re one of the pros! Of the dabb; dabchick; daboia- Which has the strongest nose?”
The above poem is my take on d’Verse’s Quadrille challenge #119.
The quadrille is simply a poem of 44 words (excluding the title), and it can take any form. This week’s challenge was to use any form of the word “dab” in a quadrille.
Funny! I see you too had a lot of fun with this one! Strongest nose indeed!! 🤣
Yeah I was feeling funny 😀
That is great!
David, the link here in the post is the wrong one but you’ve got it linked right in Mr. Linky for today’s prompt.
oops- fixed!
Thanks, Lisa!
I love this fun take on the word! So much fun dabbling here. 🙂
Yes, lots of it! Thanks, De! 😀

I LOVE playing with words. This was great fun.
Thanks, Beverly! It was much more than merely a dab of fun for me – I can tell you that much 😀
-David

David
There’s a crisis a minute these days! Send that dabster with the strongest nose to D.C.!! Enjoyed this, David. 😀
I laughed out loud at your comment 😀
Thanks, Dora!
Amazingly I’ve never even heard of andabatism.
Larry – neither had I 😉
-David
It’s a real thing
yep. sometimes I like to make up new words for my own purposes, but in this poem I only used words that actually exist.
lol like Glenn you’re a dab hand at cramming in many versions of dab … a good fun post!
😀
Thanks, Kate!
-David
most welcome!
Laughing here. I can picture the dabster – sitting in some smoky bar somewhere, a phone beside him just waiting for your call, ready to pronounce on snouts or what horse to have a dabble on in the fifth at Flemington (or your local race track).
Peter –
I love your imagery – it’s like the other (unwritten) half of the poem! 😀
-David
Reblogged this on Nelson MCBS.
I feel like this poem is secretly about you, you are the crazy dabbler!?! Or are you the dabster?? 🤔 Diving deep here.
Maybe I’m a bit of both.
Maybe we’re all a bit of both 😀
I don’t know…maybe you need to speak with a professional more about this, haha! Dr. Seuss will see you now! 😊
*LAUGHING*
dabster of a dabbler are ya?
Either way, it was great fun!

Thanks, Cindy!

You’ve deftly dabbled in some dictionary words here! You had me reaching for mine at the word ‘andabatism’ – a fun and educational take on the prompt!

Great fun, David!

What a lot of dabs! Most new to me. Thanks for the smile 🙂

Nice dabbling! Good one 😊
