Pa-loo´dlum. A paloodle talk.
Have you ever in the theatre sat in front of a gabby gent, who paloodles his girl with the story of the play, announcing each entrance and exit?
The paloodle is ubiquitous; at the baseball game, he explains each play; at the pool-table, he tells you what you ought to do, or should have done. He is proficient in the knowledge of how to run other people’s business. (See Drillig.)
Old maids paloodle you with advice on how to train your children, or how to manage a husband. (See Lallify.)
A horse falls on the slippery pavement. Immediately it is surrounded with paloodles, suggesting blankets, and straps and buckles, and “Sit on its head.” It’s the paloodle’s head that should be sat upon.

Each base was full, the score was tied,
The strikes they numbered two;
Still that paloodle at my side
Paloodled me and you!
The inning was the ninth, alas,
But the end I did not see—
For I was murdering the ass
Who’d been paloodling me!
