A famous word in the dictionary

renowned for many reasons
including a famous song.

meaning extremely wonderful
they spoke it out in fun.

Next came Mary Poppins
released in ’64
the word in song a legend
quickly woven into lore.

It’s believed to be an expression
for all that’s fabulous they say
singing it extremely loud

“Can you say it backwards?”
Mary Poppins once said with a wink
Isn’t that going a bit too far?
What do you actually think?
