A flibbertigibbet is a whimsical thing
Made of all kinds of magical stuff
Like cotton balls and carpenter's glue
And bits of belly button fluff
They float above your room at night
Protecting each kiddie from harm
Good thing about flibbertigibbets
They never get scared or alarmed
The only reason that they exist
Is to make you feel cozy and safe
So you can get a good night's sleep
Be all cheery when you awake
A flibbertigibbet doesn't mind at all
If you think her name is silly
They like to see you struggle with it
Till your brain's all willy-nilly
What a hoot, these flibbertigibbets
They're delightful to have around
Makes you feel safe and warm inside
Bestest pal you've ever found
