Think of Me Fondly

Please don't think this poet demented,
so that my reputation is cemented 
as a lunatic or nut. 
I hope you think of me with pleasure
and happiness, if only a measure - 
just the oppo-zut.

Thanks, Deb! Every once in a while, I become self-conscious about the occasional weird, off-color stuff I write. Then, I write a poem like this 😄 and continue my possibly ill-advised practice of writing whatever pops into my head.
