An Ode to the Annoyingly Ebullient
Her ebullient nature sometimes seemed a little cloying.
Others less endowed with cheer could find it most annoying.
It seemed that her ambition was to slipcover the earth
with a shell of levity—a monologue of mirth.
That others didn’t seem to have her appetite for humor
based on romance serials and hearsay and on rumor
didn’t seem to faze her. Her allusions’ rarity
coupled with her seeming lack of storytelling clarity
fazed her not a bit. Though no one else seemed to be buying it,
she kept on unrelentingly with her “pie in the sky” ing it.

I replied to you but don’t know if you got it as it isn’t under your comment. I shot the photo in Berekely, CA. It was a dentist office sign! Very large.

Scary too. However, there was an old joke in Odessa about a huge eye on an ObiGyn office. When asked about the eye, the gynecologist said,”And what do you expect me to display?”

Thanks, Kristian. As usual, it is gross exaggeration. Can’t be funny without hyperbole.

To KoolKosherKitchen: In Berkeley, California. It was a dentist’s office. I made my friend do a U turn and go back so I could snap a photo.
