1.) I was an English major
2.) Although I remember explicating "Ode on a Grecian Urn" and "Song of Myself," I had to look up "what is an ode" on ask.com so that I could do this correctly. I won't, though, because it takes too much effort.
3.) The two glasses of wine I just had have affected me more than normal. Thus, the lack of effort.
Here goes..... :-)

Ode to My Blog Readers
To those of you who read my blog
And kindly decide to comment,
You are much loved--more than a frog.
You don't make me want to vomit.
I know that there are only three or so
of you who read consistently.
Wait, I think there's only four people in all
who about my blog even know.
I appreciate every comment you see,
Because each one of them makes me feel tall...
(er, significant but it didn't fit in with the rhyme scheme)
To the one of you who doesn't feel fit
To comment on what you read,
Don't you worry, I won't throw a fit (sorry for the duplicate word)
I'll just mock your stalker-like deed.
In fact, a blog-stalker is how I will feel
about you as long as I'm aware
that you read this blog and don't feel it necessary
to let me know that you're indeed real.
It's okay, go ahead........if you dare.
I know it's because you're a scaredy...
(pants--again, doesn't fit the rhyme).
There you have it. A TWO-STANZA, traditional English ode, ladies and gentleman. (and I mean, the two ladies and one gentleman who are reading) :-) I've decided that I love it when I get comments, and the only reason I wish everyone commented is because I'm curious as to how many actually are reading this silly thing......still...... :-) Am I kidding myself? The two that leave comments are probably the only two that read! Bless their hearts. Whatever. I'm out.
My angel is a lot less sarcastic at this point than I am. |
Okay, better to be silent blog stalker, or proactive critquer...When you write in prose you say what you mean. When you write in rhyme you say what you must. -Oliver Wendell Holmes
ReplyDeleteGood Stuff!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I promise I won't be a silent reader any longer. ;) I have a whole list of blogs that I read daily and never comment on any. BUT. I am starting to get better at that.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing more of your writing Traci! :) Fun!
ReplyDeleteTraci, I spent twenty minutes reading your funny blog and hate to stop, but obligations are calling my name.
ReplyDeleteYour baby is too cute. Cherish every moment. They grow up way too quickly!
I have had three kidney stones (the most recent in February) Very painful!
Now I'm having a hot flash, so I really AM out of here... :-)
