Rhyme Me a Smile Meme

My blog friend Rimly tagged me in a meme,

I didn't respond, but didn't mean to be mean.

It's just that I didn't really know what it was

and was caught up in my NaPoWriMo buzz.

I've learned since then it means writing about me.

Perhaps you're wondering if I'm really truly wacky?

What ideas and behaviors make up my culture?

Am I really just a silly news knowledge vulture?

I understand why you'd want to know if I'm crazy.

Who wants advice from someone who's mentally hazy?

Don't worry, no one's told me I'm legally insane,

nor have I ever injured or damaged my brain.

I'm certainly not graceful or indestructible though

and have sprained / broken many a finger and toe.

Thankfully, I've never damaged an arm, leg or eye,

 but I doubt I'll keep that record until the day I die.

I get stressed out, angry and depressed just like you
and find writing these rhymes is the "medicinal" thing to do.
The wacky news and blog stories I read for inspiration
are also a constant source of (possibly shallow) elation.

Sometimes I eat chocolate or nachos instead...
or a whole yummy loaf of cheesy garlic bread.
To distract me from food, I look to my friends
on our combined wackiness my happiness depends.

I like karaoke, poker, wine tasting and whiskey
and running 'round town in costume when frisky.
I'm addicted to 30 Rock but don't watch much TV.
Usually the boob tube's just background noise for me.

I get a bit of a thrill from breaking traditions and rules.
I once built a menorah with bottles, candles and skewers for tools.

The guest of honor got the first chance to shoot out the flames
then the pellet guns were passed to the other gents and dames.

So there you have it... a Rhyme Me a Smile Meme.
The final fact about me?  My favorite color is green.
I hope you enjoyed these rhyming personal fun facts
and that they gave you a chance to giggle and relax.
