I’d much rather be penning a literary sisterpiece, but when De Jackson of dVerse Poets suggested a quadrille (uniquely 44 words only) to contain the Jabber, I jived into jollity like jocund Jupiter, and with a juddering sigh j’ai jerked into poetic jinx. Jitteringly printed on Juniper-berry background.

I once confessed about my three J’s (in bold) to my meditation teacher Jock, who jingled jauntily. Now a fourth… as the forty-fourth.

Jabber-jockey

Mindfully I noted, yet again
Jargonish J's Juxtaposed in brain:
J for Judging, when points the finger;
and Justifying, meanly linger 

O Jasmine-flavoured J for Juggling
(Jumbled multi-tasking,  Jeopardy-struggling).
Jess tick ulate "Mamma mia, it's ABBA!"
I'd best shut up, lest J for Jabber
