Yes. I remember Neopardy -
And yet, just why escapes me now.
That gangling girl from Gothenburg?
Ed's piglets? Buttercup, the cow?
The actual name? (Most say it comes
From 'neeps', as charm the Burns Night lot,
But some claim 'catnip', or the plant
That acts on felines much like pot.)
Could it be where we lost ourselves
In labyrinthine Devon lanes
And so, in verbal combat, cast
Aspersions on each other's brains?
Spring lamb? A pasty? Strawberries? Cream?
No madeleine furnishes a key
To open such a long-closed door . . .
I must go back to Neopardy.
