Poetry Month - Day 8: Spastic

This intro is going to be short and sweet because it's 9:00 and I'm just writing today's poem. My friend, Juli gave me the word Spastic (an awkward, clumsy or eccentric person) - something I have firsthand experience with. So here it is . . .

Spastic

I always wear elastic

and all my knives are plastic

since I'm a little spastic

and don't want to get hurt.

I'm often times bombastic

the tales I tell, fantastic

my measures can be drastic

and I've been known to blurt.

At work I am scholastic

at home I'm quite sarcastic

when writing, I'm gymnastic

yet, sometimes I'm inert.

I could be more dynastic

behave ecclesiastic

perhaps a bit monastic

well, maybe I'll convert.

(but my Jewish mother wouldn't like it!)
