This is my version
of an imaginary person.
I will call her Jinx.
The name stinks,
for it reeks of pranks -
the kind folks murmur "No thanks!"
to; folks on whom tricks,
like a ton of bricks,
fall flat.
Splat!
Ones who missed out on the gene
for humour. Know what I mean?
Jinx, on the other hand,
can understand
how a quick quip
can nip
into a conversation
like a well placed decoration,
cause a smile or a giggle
without causing a wriggle
of unease.
She likes to please,
make the world a better place
by bringing a smile to its face!

I like hearing Jinx's view of the world tho I am of the opposite persuasion, serious to the end of time when I will wish, I am sure, that I had more jinx in my life and a few less elves!
And you definitely brought that smile...jinx is a sweetheart....
ReplyDeleteActually, it is supposed to be about someone FAMOUS, and it *can* be someone who inspires you, or not.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fame will come once I’m dead! Hehehe! Who knows?!!! I’m working on it…
DeleteSmiling... :D

ReplyDeleteThis was fun! Loved the use of rhyme as well -- it made for kind of a rollicking feeling, which suited the idea perfectly.
