Dab Questions
How big is a dab? Inquiring minds want to know
Is it larger than a smidgen, or smaller than a toe?
Can a dab be a solid or does it need to flow?
Will it stay one size or will it start to grow?

Linked to dVerse Poets Pub Quadrille #119 – Dabbling in Poetry
The Challenge: Pen a quadrille (a poem consisting of exactly 44 words) using some form of the word dab.
See more quadrille poetry.
Heehee! I love these ponderings. I think it might be slightly smaller than a smidge, but larger than a dash? 😉
This is absolutely delightful! 😀 Especially like; “Can a dab be a solid or does it need to flow?”
I like you thought line. I grew up with the word, and it always seemed to mean a little bit —- but then what is a little bit, and here we go again!!
I like that you went for humor, Ron! Well done 🙂

A fun response to the prompt! 😀
A well-done quadrille quatrain, Ron.
I don’t know how small something can get before it ceases to qualify as a dab. I Keep thinking about Bryllcreme being acceptable as a “little” dab. If a dab gets too big what does it become… a gob?
Neat little write, this one.
i beleive it is between a smidge and a smidgen. more like a smidge and a half
i might br wrong though
Nicely done and welcome to d’Verse. Hope you enjoy this great group of poets!

Thanks. Yes, I think I’m going to like it here.
Great!
It’s good to see you here at DVerse for Quadrille Monday, Ron!
I think it was something I saw on your blog that directed me to dVerse.
Oh, yay! 😀
Cute quadrille 🙂
Great quadrille!
Some interesting philosophical ponderings on the exact nature of the elusive ‘dab’!
Made me chuckle! thanks for sharing.
Nice one Ron😁
Happy New Year
Much✨love
Clever, and there are no answers to any of those questions 🙂
Smiling I am. Clever take on the prompt!
You went Dr. Seuss on us with this thought experiment. What fun!
I wasn’t thinking Dr Seuss, but now that you brought it to my attention, that’s all I see.
Love questions much more than answers… maybe a dab is 42
