Zany

"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

Constance La France September 12, 2023 at 5:47 PM Line, wonderful poem and congratulations on your win in my contest, love the quote, Constance Lin Lane September 12, 2023 at 6:26 PM Thank you so much.

Jim Slaughter August 19, 2023 at 10:20 AM 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. Lin Lane September 12, 2023 at 6:25 PM I completely concur with you , Jim. Thanks!

Christuraj Alex August 18, 2023 at 6:48 PM "They are rays of sunshine when it's rainy" - A rich tribute to your friends. Congratulations! Lin Lane September 12, 2023 at 6:25 PM It certainly is. Thanks Chris.

Victor Buhagiar August 17, 2023 at 3:58 AM I've seen some crappy limericks, but definitely not yours. Loved them all. Lin Lane August 17, 2023 at 5:34 AM Victor, your rhyming is above par and now I see so is your sense of humor. Thank you for the kind compliment.

Arlo Parker August 16, 2023 at 9:38 PM A clown named Zany had an upside down grin; the irony wasn't lost on the children. :o/ Lin Lane August 17, 2023 at 2:09 AM We’ll have to give Zany a grin. Your comment gave me one. Thank you, Arlo.

David Kavanagh August 16, 2023 at 1:11 PM Yeah I can do zany Lin, we all need a little fun in our lives, especially from all the dreary stuff, 3 excellent Limericks with just the right amount of crap in the last one, perfect, cheers David Lin Lane August 16, 2023 at 3:29 PM You DO zany! Thanks for complimenting my limericks. I had to make something crappy somewhere.

Tom Cunningham August 16, 2023 at 12:36 PM I'm all for humour and zany is a nice word, I've been called a lot worse lol. Tom Lin Lane August 16, 2023 at 3:27 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.
