kniteracyI'm in a very bad mood,
And so I think it wise
To chop all of my thoughts up
And serve them up bite-size.
With no regard for better verse
And eyes on the banal,
I plan to drivel endlessly
And thus annoy you all!
So if you're feeling brave enough,
I dare you! Follow me!
Post and comment bilge and poppycock,
The tripe will set you free!
Explanation in prose.
I'm in a really terrible mood today. When I feel that a day is going to be bad, depressive-harper-style, one thing I do is try to do as many nice things for other people as possible, hoping that giving something good to the universe will encourage it to give something good to me. Sympathetic magic. This morning, I began by buying chocolates and pecan plaits for my coworkers and sending cheery messages to everybody in my family via SMS. When I got around to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pola_bear, I was inspired to write her two SMSes full of doggerel verse-- I'm not sure why; it just came out that way. It made me feel so good to send her two messages full of nonsensical crap that I'm going to make it my business to write as much horrific non-poetry as possible today, in and out of the astounding amount of work I have to do. If you think it might put a smile on your face, please do the same! :-)
ETA: I found it liberating not to edit any of this or use a rhyming dictionary, dictionary or thesaurus of any kind; the cliches flow more freely when the brain is given no choice. ;-)
