A Nonsensical Tale

Exceptionally average on every known scale My life story’s such a nonsensical tale Striving for apathy with passionate zeal all of my flaws I boldly conceal I loudly proclaim my feelings to none and when there is trouble bravely I run No coward am I unless there’s a need and quickly I set forth to slowly proceed My virtues are many just see how they rhyme I’ll get to my bad points at some other time Not easily frightened when already scared And I shall go on as if anyone cared With scissors in hand I cut my own lawn I worked through the night and straight up to Dawn But Dawn couldn’t stand it and packed all her things and unicycled down the road to Palm Springs There’s just one more item I almost forgot that’s very important until it is not I hereby declare before I should die that my favorite cake is blueberry pie © Mike Wise 1/8/19
