I love acting kooky sometimes. In fact, I have been characterised as crazy, eccentric, funny, quirky, wacky, weird, and wild. However, I "do" know when it's the right time to be so, as well as the right time to be - well, in a serious mode. It's so much more fun, though, to be kooky!KOOKINESS
Kookiness is a crazy sort of plaid.
It looks like a Scot's kilt gone bad.
It sounds like a bagpipe gone mad.
It smells like Burns' Day haggis.
It tastes like a ticklish all-over kiss.
It feels like end-of-the-day bliss.
Kookiness is absurd silliness.
ThanKs always to the krazy, kittenish Denise Nesbitt for her kreativity in starting up this weeKly ABC Wednesday kookiness! She and her ko-horts (moi inKcluded) will be over to checK up on your kontributions this weeK. They Kan be found here.
This reminds me of the song "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb"! Remember Edd Byrnes in 77 Sunset Strip? When they decided to keep him in the show, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. said: "We previewed this show, and because Edd Byrnes was such a hit we decided that Kookie and his comb had to be in our series. So this week, we'll just forget that in the pilot he went off to prison to be executed."
ReplyDeleteWhen I read that in Wikipedia, it made me laugh. Your post for ABC Wednesday made me laugh, too.

ReplyDeleteI do not mind being kooky yet times.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Kooky is fun...sometimes! :)
ReplyDeleteLeslie, this is a hoot!
ReplyDeleteLove your poetry. I think you hit it right on the head.
Letting our hair down and being kooky can be cathargic.
Oh boy, I loved 77 Sunset Strip nad Kookie, always combing his hair. I had a picture of him on my bedroom wall.

ReplyDeleteWhen I read the word Haggis I was reminded that we watched a show on how it is made and it really made me sick! If it is the same Haggis that is!
Hope you're doing well and having a good time!
I:'m way behing on the cultural references - must have been busy doing something else, but I think a little kookiness is really essential once in a while!
ReplyDeleteHaHaHa ~ you have me laughing out loud!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun this is Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI love the word Kookie!

Yes, kookiness is fun! -- in the right place and at the right time. It runs in my husband's family. We loved 77 Sunset Strip and especially Kookie and his hair. A good sense of humor and a bit of fun is essential in our lives, I do believe.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I remember 77 Sunset Strip - how could we forget?
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a lovely, fun post.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love how you included several things "Scots" in this delightfully Kooky rhyme, I think it applies well to a lot of my fellow countrymen (and um, okay, yeah, to me too)!
ReplyDeleteAnother great post, dearest Leslie.
