Creative Challenge: Thingamajig



At one time I owned a Thingamajig, it was incredibly sweet but it never was rotten.
It was so very many years ago and I have searched my mind for what I have forgotten.

If I remember correctly it had three purple switches, a green framice and a large gold knob.
His ancestry was uncertain, but he had a distant cousin I  think his name was Thingamabob.

He was rather tall, as I recall, my impression was he was built somewhat strangely
I could never pronounce his name, I repressed it, so I just called him”Thingy.”

In our later years we became enamored with vocal music and began singing.
We were quite the rage, a magnificent duet composed of just me and Thingy.

One day he met a beautiful young creature nibbling coyly on a fresh picked fig
His heart soared like a hot air balloon and he began to dance a funny little jig

They fell mad passionately in love, and believe me I don’t mean maybe
They were soon wed and I became the uncle to three new Thingababies.
