I was expecting the Fauntleroy gig but was hoping for something pleasant and uplifting for these troubled times, such as

a bed, little Lord
Fauntleroy, you charming kind
man, have a nice day


you see how I have created an atmosphere of niceosity and people will no longer be davering thanks to me.

if you have a moment take a look at this short film doc,

the most educational aspect of these last few posts was my use of the obscure word "davering".

"davering", from "dare" + "wavering": hesitation to act due to a stressful element. Usage: "He was davering to kiss her due to a zit on her lip."

when I regularly used this lovely word, back in the 40's and 50's I understood it to mean "walking around as if in a daze" . I think your definition is either your best improvisation or a porkie someone told you when you were a kid.

Thanks for the great word, it will always be a comfort.

My definition is possibly an improvisation but I did read it on the Internet.

Cummin' or cohen
neither can be done without
Cohen lasts longer.

Cohen lasts longer
can still skip on the stage, not
like Bob Zimmer-frame


9 out of 10 for referencing Cohen's recent concerts and knocking Dylan, all in the same haiku.
