Flumadiddle ... Speed

Today's word is "flumadiddle" ... Fluhm-uh-DID-l ... utter nonsense. (Dictionary.com)

Speed The giant sand hill rose,
By the little lake,
The small black dog was mystified,
Then began to quake.

She shook with great excitement,
Readying to spring,
She blasted forward, up that mound,
All her energy she'd bring.

Then that crazy canine,
Ran round and round and round,
Digging, running, hopping,
On the dirt hill did she bound.

All this flumadiddle did amuse,
The audience that gathered,
They watched until she finally stopped,
Full of dirt and lathered.
