Something Stupid
Because I got nothing else. You're welcome!

I wanted to write something stupid
To remind me of just who I am
Not really suggesting I’m stupid
But somedays I’ve the IQ of a yam
*
When my brain feels all pale and starchy
With tough skin that thoughts cannot pierce
I know that my mind has gone marshy
So I might as well think with my arse
*
So here is the shit that I’m writing
I just hope that it doesn’t all stink
If you read while my thoughts are igniting
You might need to pour a stiff drink
*
I started out self-deprecating,
Then insulted a fucking potato
Next my brain began defecating
While my mind got drunk on the patio
*
I think it’s near time that I end this.
Since my poem is a rickety rail car
It never made sense to begin with
And I fear that I’ve travelled too far
*
But if you’re still reading my drivel
There’s something I think you should know
I may have the IQ of a tuber
But you are as stubborn as a goat
(Final line can be taken as the animal or acronym - both apply equally.)

I needed a laugh today and said to myself .. self I said, go read something from Cathy. And I came across this beauty. So thanks, now I can survive another hour long meeting
How did I miss this? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m absolutely here for the chaos and potato insults 🤣👏
Fun read, my friend! So many lines in here 😅 "I started out self-deprecating, Then insulted a fucking potato"... honestly *hugs* but the way this came out made me giggle 😅🥹❤️❤️
Simply delightful. And I'd say you have me pegged.
😂💓 Oh my goodness, this was funny.
😅. Ahhhh, you know us all too well. Thanks for the laugh, Cathy.
I wanna be the animal goat! Weeeee! Also, if you have an IQ of a tuber, then I wonder what's mine 🤣🤣🤣 Loved your stupid poem! Lol! Also, Happy Birthday! 🎂💖
Hahaha love this Cathy 😂
Hilarious, but sometimes I have a IQ of a yam that’s my favorite food🤣 laughter does the body good!
OMG, I laughed way too hard at this! "So I might as well think with my arse!" There's never been a line that screams Atlantic Canada like that!
😅🤣😂😅🤣😂🤣
Hilarious! Is it your cat writing?
That was a lot of fun! I'm glad you gave us the option on the last line. I'd never lay claim to the acronym, and the other option goes well with "old,", so...
We all have this moments but only you can turn into humor 🤣😉
This was af un wake up, I am going to shower and then to Scotland
Wouldn’t it be something if Vocal held a Vocal Con!! And we could roast each other. 😂🥰
Okay from the last line- Lmao 🤣I'm insulted in a Hilarious way❗ You are Awesome 👍 😊📝❤️ -I laughed out loud so hard with that potato line 😁
LOL very nice and funny!
I needed a good laugh. This is so funny, you incredible yam. Also, I read it as arse-y first go.
Oh, Cathy, bless you. Just when I needed a laugh ....
Fun & funnier!!! Loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
