More Than One Kind of Crazy

Occasionally we should expose the wackier lobe of the brain in order to better appreciate the more sensible side of the mind. ~THIS is one of those times...
I capriole between my arabesques fugaciously spasmodic in fluxes and leaps indifferent to their misanthropic mocking and cheeky syncopated schisms BUT LET THEM SCOFF! I derogate their arrogance in silent smirking repudiation for they know not of the decoctions spating rapidly through my veins, nor of the massive assemblage of my miscelany grey and white matter. The mordant humor of this absurdity is that I am irrationally rational... psychotically speaking; I am dripping with percipience sagaciously intelligent beyond the measure of those cretins who kvetch, pule, and postulate that I am strabismic and nonsensical as a loon. After reading this write of gelastic absurdity, it's become mereticiously opaque to me that my discourse is oxymoronic, OR I am a dimwitted addlepate. There is more than one kind of crazy!
********************* A translated version of the above nonsense, so now Jan doesn't think she's hopelessly lost. I dance as if I were a ballerina, a total klutz, but I don't care if they laugh at me. LET THEM MAKE FUN! I don't care if they smirk at me because they don't know what I feel or think. The funny part of my silliness is that I'm really rational, pretending not to be. I'm really smarter than I look or act so let those idiots say that I'm as crazy as a loon. Now that I've read these words, it's clear to me that nothing I've written is clear. Soooo.... I'm either clever at writing an oxymoron OR I'm crazy.

A most zany interdiction of reason and rationality, Lin. In other words, it's crazy cool. Seems the inmates are running amok in the poetic asylum of Bowery Lane. Speaking of which, the word-play of this fun poem reminds me of Slip Mahoney of the famous Bowery Boys of yesteryear. Another fantastic poem. A 7 for creativity. Love always.

"Crazy cool" makes me smile. Hi, Freddie and thanks for liking this one. Not sure who the Bowery Boys are but I'll take a peek. After writing that one I felt I was going to be hauled to an asylum...lol

oh so true, Tim. It actually makes sense if you use a Thesaurus to transcribe those cockeyed words....like I did to write it. ;-)

What does one say when there's no comprehension of silliness? Thanks, dale.
