From Gene Weingarten, the humor writer for the Washington Post, posted in his online chat today:

Higgledy piggledy

Bikes on the sidewalk are

Fine if you're teaching a

Youngster the ropes.

All other uses are

Limited only to

Nincompoops, jackasses,

Douchebags and dopes.


And a reader's reply:

Higgledy piggledy

Bikes on the sidewalk are

Fine if you're open to

Using your head.

Drivers are reckless

And not very careful;

They take a phone call

And I wind up dead.


To which Weingarten replied: "Sissy. If you are gonna ride on the sidewalk, get a tricycle."
