Higgledy Piggledy

[grannyjill]

I spoke of higgledy-piggledy first to Mark, to show that sometimes a poem does need a word here and there changed IF it makes no sense to other English speaking people....viz - his use of Median in reference to a traffic island. I'd never heard of a Median and thought it was something to do with Average....so was baffled by his verse (I used higgledy-piggledy as my example because I had had to remove it from a poem I once wrote...because folk from the US of A didn't use it, or understand it)

Going back to the beginning. Higgledy piggledy is a perfectly normal English phrase used by grown-ups - not a phrase from Dr. Seuss! Or any other children's book.

"they" is me. occupy walled-ins!


Listen matey, I am a civilian - in fact my career choice is to be an innocent bystander. Edit....damn, I just realised those are the ones who get killed first. (What does 'occupy walled-in' mean?)
