The word ‘grockle’ is a joy. Apparently, it refers, in a somewhat derogatory way, to a tourist, having possibly first appeared as a strip cartoon ‘Danny and his Grockle’ in the Dandy comic. I thought it so good that its use ought to be extended into other parts of speech.
We like to go a’grockling
On a wide and sandy shore;
We grockle on and on, until
We cannot grockle more.
Our grocklet children grockle;
We taught ’em all we know:
The easy way of grockling fast,
And how to grockle slow.
When we grow old and grockly,
If people ask, we’ll say:
“The secret of a happy life?
Go grockling every day!”
