Dead Skunk Season

I’ve been silly, willy nilly,
Not your neighborhood, hillbilly, 
Silly is, as silly does,
Silly whiz, I was.

If my brain goes clink, clink, clink,
And my skull, begins to shrink,
What I think, my thinking got,
Linking think to thought.

Now I leave you, for this reason,
I'm alive, in dead skunk season.

Dear Terry, Thank you for your kind words. If ever more wonderful words, there was, your words, are wonderful words, because, . . . because, because, because, because, because . . . because of the wonderful good, it does. I'm off to see the wizard. Have a great day, Terry. Your tin woodsman, Bryan

Thank you Miranda. My goal is to conquer the world with silliness. Silliness is who I am. Silly like green eggs and ham. Silly is as silly thinks. Silly as my missing links. Laughter, after all, is that, welcome as a welcome mat. One that purrs with every pat. Like a large, aggressive cat. One that wears a silly hat. Gosh, I enjoyed writing for your contest. Thanks, Miranda. --Bryan
