Language is so fun and your piffle poem is the perfect celebration of that. A playful springboard... and this poem in the form of a list of questions reminds me of a "Snapshot Writing" form that Sara Holbrook shared today at the Illinois Reading Council Conference--Question Poems.Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-34703328401961798412013-03-16T04:53:49.020+11:002013-03-16T04:53:49.020+11:00Love this!

It is sad to see the demise of such great words (scallywag. skedaddle, etc.)<br />You have done piffle proud.
