OCT 19, duplication: fuddy-duddy

 

a) Reprise of material posted on October 19 in previous years ...


2020: Toronto ravines, Taylor Creek (photo-collage)  
2021: Carolina lowcountry, wildlife revisited 1 (photo-collage)
2022: Canadiana, seniors' hockey (poem) 
2023: decorative touches, abstract graphic (fabric art)

To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... seniors' hockey), into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slide(s) for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice. 

b) Today's Offering (Oct 19, 2024):


Authors' Note: 
(FUD-ee-dud-ee, or as a possibility here, fud-ee-DUD-ee); another example of a (re)duplication.
Readers willing to go down an internet rabbit-hole can easily get to a collection of more than a dozen other short verses SHORT VERSES  in which we have dealt with specific reduplications. 

If interested, readers can also discover three fairly lengthy PATTER-SONGS about this fascinating linguistic phenomenon. These songs form an important part of our cycle of 9 songs about "Word Pairs".
