Fopdoodle and Salmagundi

Fopdoodle and Salmagundi

Two of my favourite words

Unheard these days, so sad to say

Less common now than swords.

An insignificant wretch or fool

And meat with pickled fish

With onions and some other stuff

Sounds such a tasty dish

They’ve gone the way of liplabour

Habnab and kissingcrust

Such beauty in those olden words

Return to them we must!

Let Fopdoodle and Salmagundi

Be lessons to us all

A wretched fool with pickled fish

Is bound, someday, to fall.
