Malifuff: Feckless and entirely incapable of doing anything capable. 2. Nasalating: Difficulty breathing through the nose. 3. Scrittle-scrattle - Difficulty in making ends meet. Gyles' poem this week is Poor Little Rich Girl by Noel Coward Poor little rich girl, you're a bewitched girl Better take care Laughing at danger, virtue a stranger Better beware The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle You love affairs are in a hopeless tangle Though you're a child, dear Your life's a wild typhoon In lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure Steadily grows Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after? Nobody knows You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern Ruled by pantaloon Poor little rich girl Don't drop a stitch too soon You're only a baby You're lonely, and maybe Someday soon you'll know The tears you are tasting Are years you are wasting Life's a bitter foe With fate it's no use competing Youth is so terribly fleeting By dancing much faster You're chancing disaster Time alone will show In lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure Steadily grows Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after?
