Dizzy

DIZZY

         Carefree yet carefully careless.
          Prompt to break one in three pieces.
           Three being given, two he loses.
            Devoted in actions useless.

            Peculiar not to compare.
           A single piece without pair.
           If asked for tea, juice to prepare.
          Torn shoes work fine, not to repair.
         
           Not absolute total bogus,
            But derided, ridiculous.
             Talks meaningless superfluous.
             Guy came direct from Damascus.   
           
            As vagrant mostly lives in camp.
            Even if weather be damp.
           But in sports always a champ.
           Also, lovable chap as tramp.
          
           To identify too easy.
           A little bit weird whimsy.
           In odd work keeps himself busy.
            Who is he? He is the dizzy.
