They Call Her Abby Normal-Theatre of the Absurd

Whose brain?.......
Did you put in?......
Abby Someone....
Let me think.........
The label... on the jar....
read....Abby Normal....
I think.........
A creative monster.....
living inside..........
....................her head.

Who;
Does labor?
in the
Laboratory 
of a 
Creative Life?

It is.......the......
abnormal brain.
Sewn together
under
experiments....

With ;
Thoughts streaming
under .......high....
electrical currents. 

A lightening......
fast speed........
In a moment of
..............   Ideas.
         
                                (inspired by)
                "Mary Shelley's......Frankenstein"
                                   her quote
"Beware; for I am fearless and therefore powerful."
                                       and
      Mel Brooks. "Young Frankenstein." Movie.

Sometimes the site has trouble. Just be patient and poke around. You'll get the hang of it by trial and error. Thanks for the comment. This write delved into Shelleys mind. How she felt abnormal like a sewn together Frankenstein. Because her gifts and talents were so far above 99 o/o of the people of her time.

Mary Godwin Shelley would approve, I'm sure. I think this fits one of the current contests requirements, something wanting 'far out' writes (not that I'm using the right descriptive words, you'll find the one I mean if you look.) You have a healthy imagination and I enjoyed it ... CayCay

Thanks CayCay. I'll check it out. I enter contests very rarely. I agree. I think I captured Shelley in feeling abnormal and sewn together like Frankenstein because she was so gifted.
