For a life punctuated by fear
And illness, poor Edward, née Lear,
Needs no epitaph
But a lim’rick, a laugh,
And that oeuvre we will always revere
So let us salute with a rhyme
His art, and the marvelous time
That limericks bring
When they’re wild—that’s the thing
That makes Lear in the ear sublime!
😀
So glad to meet you, my friend! You’re very welcome here.

Ok, any sympathy I may have had for your mental “illness” (your word, not mine) has died. You’re just too creative with too many books on the simmer. You’ve obviously more than adjusted.
As long as my illness is so treatable, I consider myself mighty fortunate to be only as truly crazy as my imagination wants me to be! 🙂 I’m glad you approve of the madness behind my methods. 😀

How I love Edward Lear
His poetry is funny, absurd but dear
He who can’t laugh will not last
In goodwill and humour we should always trust
For a life punctuated by fear

And that oeuvre we will always revere

foodies are funny freaks
their food like tech to geeks
eating, laughing enjoying and raving
when they could be slaving
Thanks Kathryn! You inspired a spontaneous silly response. 🙂
I can think of no better reward! 😀 Yay for both of us!

🙂 This reminds me to write more silly poetry!
Then my work here is done! 😀

Best thing for nearly all occasions, that LOL-ing!!! 😀
xoxo!
I am starving!
Isn’t that just always the way of it! 😉
Is there any better compliment than that you have me smiling ear to ear and drooling a little, too? XO ❤
Nope! But be careful, or you’ll end up a drooling, grinning goofus just like me!!! 😛 !!!
xoxoxo,
