Favorite Quote:
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


Lovely is an insult. Amazing not enough.
Stellar isn’t quite there, and gorgeous is too rough.
Gazing at your face, I see your lips and hair.
But no man-made compliment could ever quite be fair.

Well, insults have come far over the centuries,
So I turn to them to depict what you mean to me.
But to not confuse my feelings with what I start to say,
Allow me to point out, it is now Opposite’s Day.

You are repulsive, repugnant, and rather skewed.
Your skin’s beyond grotesque and your face misconstrued.
Your laugh is a screech that slowly slaughters my ears,
While your floppy figure can propel me to tears.

I hope this is foggy and that you haven’t a clue
Of how much I really, very, truly dislike you.
