gab, gabardine, gabble, gabbro
Incurable collectors of vintage clothes,
Recognize fabric 'n fashion o' old.
Gabardine garments were big in the day,
Of cloaks and capes that swished 'n swayed.
Horsemen, there, in days of ole,
Wore long, loose overcoats, so we're told.
Ladies would gab 'bout wool 'n twill,
Females like to gabble, as foxy dames will.
Gabbro, some of them say,
Is really, a real strange word,
Geogology class is 'bout,
The only place that'd be heard.

How very strange, looking up gabble and gabbro only to find NO gabbro??? Checked my Encarta and it says its a dark, grainy rock... But it isn't in the Dictionary, wonder why? Where did you find the word Jabber? They are becoming harder as we move furthewr into the dictionary. No doubt about it!
Someone once told me as a nasty jab,
to keep my lips closed as too much I did gab.
In Hawaii we viewed a sunken submarine,
it was freezing inside, thank God for my warm gabardine.
From the roof top, I am hearing the gabble.
they have a window seat and a comfy old table.
There are rocks covering the ground, I think they call gabbro,
Like nothing I've ever seen, dark and all in a row.

Looks like I've been missing out on some real fun...
so, do we go to the letter H, now?

Hey Gims! :)Sure pick out the first four letter under H, or try out the G words. Whatever you like.

While the ladies were gabbling away,
Too much gab, I thought, don’t want to stay.
I continued the march up the mountain side,
Where under the ferns a gabbro, I spied.
This is perfect for my garden by the gate,
I lay my gabardine down like a cape.
Rolled the gabbro on top of the coat
by the collar I pulled, like a mountain goat.
At the bottom, the ladies shrieked, “How bizarre!
We’ll never get that thing into our car!”
So here I sit with my gabbro at my side,
Waiting for a taxi to give me a ride.

Chatty,
I have Webster's New World, College Dictionary, 4th Edition:
1st word: gab
Then, GABA abbreviation for neurotransmitter
2nd word: gabardine
3rd word: gabble
4th word: gabbro, a dark coarse-grained rock; they smooth and use it to make tombstone! If googled, you'll see site, after site of pictures of it, etc.
So Chats, I don't understand, where you're coming from?
There's also a site called [Images of Gabbro Tombstone Pictures]!
But I'll let you or Ed3 or gims list the following letters, and that'll avoid any confusion...LOL!

hah, habit, habitable, habitat A bad habit is not a hah- hah matter, My bad habit is making me fatter! When I sit in my habitable adobe, In my slippers and my pink bathrobe, Stuffing ice-cream in my face; that’s a fact. Will make me move, and look for a bigger habitat!
