clown
Although I am a clown, I mope and frown aroun' Ignoring my wig, And my often worn grin, I guess it's my fate to be down. Nice clowns are just a cliche I'm sad and want you away Take a look at my cig' And my cup full of gin And tell me I'm not a fan of Nietzsche Sometimes I just wanna read My depressing philosophy But given your smile, I can give no denial To your ask of a balloon monkey ~ - November 20th, 2024
i hope you enjoyed that little limmerick. i came up with it in my dorm basement on my adler satellite II electric typewriter.
i really enjoy the though process on a machine like that, it's harder than it seems solely due to the permanence; it makes you think about what you'll write before you type it out.
i could probably write all day about this typewriter. it's such a gorgeous device, but it's loud as hell and pisses off my floormates!
i wrote this after a bout of depression, sort of relating to how i felt i had to portray myself as happy and loving so as not to upset
my friends or teachers and the like. it's not the deepest, but i felt cool writing it!
