"If having a sense of humor is considered crazy, tell me I'm zany before you walk out my door." ~ by poet My poetic friends are very zany Their humor indicates they are brainy Limericks they oft' write Bring laughter to the site They are rays of sunshine when it's rainy Zaniness is an art that gives pleasure Such quirky talent goes beyond measure Their farcical style Makes many of us smile Witty minds are valued as a treasure Labeled bizarre, whimsical, or sappy Zany cockamamy makes us happy They take away a frown When we are feeling down Even if their limericks are crappy

Good points, Lin. Humor does, indeed, come in many forms and guises, and much like beauty, it's very often only in the eyes of the beholder. And, besides, I sometimes believe that having a "sense of humor" is all that keeps a person from going completely crazy.

I've seen some crappy limericks, but definitely not yours. Loved them all.

You DO zany! Thanks for complimenting my limericks. I had to make something crappy somewhere.

I'm all for humour and zany is a nice word, I've been called a lot worse lol. Tom

Lin Lane
Date: 8/16/2023 3:27:00 PM

Oh and so have I, Tom. It depends who’s doing the calling that determines if it bothers me. You write such fun limericks. Thanks.

Jan, you were first on my list of poets when this theme came to mind. As I'm writing this, I'm listening to Ed Sheeran sing, "...your soul will never grow old. It's evergreen." Smiles are worth a lot these days. Thanks for offering them in your writes, chickadee!
