Welcome to Cozy Poetry Corner by Debra A Winter (Richter)

(A humorous, whimsical poem about whatchamacallits, thing‑a‑ma‑jigs, and all the mysterious gizmos we can’t remember the names of. Lighthearted nonsense from Debra’s Cozy Poetry Corner.)

“The Whatchamacallits of Life“

I went to find my whatchamacallit,

But tripped over a thing‑a‑ma‑jig.

Then a doo‑ma‑giggy rolled past my foot,

Followed by a doo‑bobber that was too big!

A doo‑ma‑hickie jumped on the table

And danced like it owned the place.

While a thing‑a‑ma‑jig spun circles around

With a smug little “catch me!” squishy-dirty face.

My room was full of electric gizmos galore,

Each stranger than the last.

If you asked me what any of them were,

I’d say, “Uh… something‑a‑ma‑whatsit‑fast.”

So now I keep a basket labeled “Stuff I Can’t Recall.”

Because my brain refuses to name them at all.

If you’ve got thing-a-ma-jigs scattered just like me,

Toss them in your labeled basket or your gizmo drawer.

Keep them neat and not all over the basement floor!
