you're adding to it, Dave, and now I am too! Remember how the One Jump Ahead Game settled down? This one will too!
Yeah, agreement comes with discussion and without discord.

I think that was the last one, but there is some debate as to its form it seems . . .

after getting Philbo's alcoholic cryptic clue, you are clearly a bear of huge brain! We are still on my Henny McPenny, meaning a sort of useless flighty person - it is a five-syllable word with two rhyming syllable-pairs and the middle syllable not rhyming (hence the Mc). There is an extra clue I could give, but as you were not sure which clue to tackle, I will leave this a bit longer

Slippery trickery?
..not quite a rhyme, but I can't think of anything that rhymes with "trickery" (apart from hickory and vicar-y)

Sorry, it's not a good rhyme..... and it's the whole thing that means underhand scheming (not trickery)

jiggery pokery?


assuming yes (Vicky, I assume you meant that this was not a good rhyme, not that Philbo's guess wasn't!), then:

Henny Penny - round and round, down and down at the funfair

The nearest I've got so far is "litter critter", but that can't be right...

Funnily enough, I was considering suggesting a super-duper pooper scooper next time I got a go. Ah, well...
