A Nonsensical Tale

Exceptionally average
on every known scale
My life story’s such
a nonsensical tale

Striving for apathy
with passionate zeal
all of my flaws
I boldly conceal

I loudly proclaim
my feelings to none
and when there is trouble
bravely I run

No coward am I
unless there’s a need
and quickly I set forth
to slowly proceed

My virtues are many
just see how they rhyme
I’ll get to my bad points
at some other time

Not easily frightened
when already scared
And I shall go on
as if anyone cared

With scissors in hand
I cut my own lawn
I worked through the night
and straight up to Dawn

But Dawn couldn’t stand it
and packed all her things
and unicycled down
the road to Palm Springs

There’s just one more item
I almost forgot
that’s very important
until it is not

I hereby declare
before I should die
that my favorite cake
is blueberry pie
