It Turns Out... I'M Happy

I'm actually happy
I took this test online
and according to that,
I'm happy

I printed the results of my "are you happy?" test
so I can whip it out
in case someone were to protest

I am obsessed with these results
I can't stop reading that I am 
spontaneous
inquisitive
and energetic

And apparently, I like to try new things.
That explains the promiscuous phase

I also have firm grip on reality
but I have little tolerance for schedules
Hence, I can't get to work on time
I can't help it

Evidently, I have a deep sense of compassion
And I'm good at listening and talking
(HUH?)
But clearly I am unable to write a poem that rhymes
I hope that won't negate all the above
because I was sounding so perfect

I am a EXPLOYER/NEGOTIATOR
meaning
I will do anything
then do anything to get myself out of the mess I made doing ANYTHING

I need to careful though
I could easily be SO MENTALLY FLEXIBLE
that I could appear to be indecisive and unpredictable
and I need to focus on one thing at a time

So if you happen to run into me
please proceed with caution

I am 
charismatic
agreeable and adaptable
and able to convince you that I am just like you

I wish I were me.....

And I cannot tolerate boredom. That part is true.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/19/2009 9:46:00 PM Kimmy, this is so witty! I am laughing out loud. I, too, was "diagnosed" as an Exployer/Negotiator, but those standardized tests try to put people in cubbyholes. No two are the same; that's why I hated psychology -- too much branding. Truly great work! Carolyn Login to Reply

Sue Mason Date: 2/11/2009 12:15:00 PM I had to split my comments so actually you're reading what I said after the one below ... LOL ... anyway, they usually won't include poems in contests that say "I Don't Know" as this is a place to learn about the different forms as well as to express ourselves. I love PoetrySoup and what it is teaching me and I'm so glad you're here too ... smile ... Login to Reply

Sue Mason Date: 2/11/2009 12:12:00 PM LOL wonderful write here, Kimmy. Thank you so much for your comments on my writing. This write is Free Verse as are most. I would refer you to the left hand column under Resources "Forms of Poetry" and how fun it is to try some of them. But anyway, after you post your poem and scroll down where it says Form you can backspace up past "I Don't Know" to the rest of the alphabet before "i" and/or downspace to other forms.
