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

Jim Slaughter Date: 8/19/2023 10:20:00 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.
