It's a character defense mechanism-in-action, pure & simple.

My rhymes are clearly written for pre-school children. At that age a child's mind is more likely to be stimulated by sillyness than seriousness - See, for instance, Dr Seuss or Edward Lear (I am not trying to compare what I have posted with either of those writers, by the way, I am simply using them as examples of nonsense poetry written to stimulate a child's mind). My rhymes would hopefully encourage a small child's imagination in a way which he or she will enjoy. They aren't written in a serious vein because they
aren't meant to be taken seriously. I posted them in a jokey thread for the benefit of Pookie, who has a young daughter who has recently broken her leg, and from what he has posted, she enjoyed them. For me, mission accomplished.
Do you seriously think that I am trying to compare what I have written with Jim Morrison's deep meaningful work? Would I compare the Archies with The Velvet Underground?
I really don't remember there being anything in the terms and conditions for this board that it is only to be used for intellectual discourse. If there is anything to that effect in the contract that I implicitly signed when I joined up, please do let me know and I will gladly resign forwith.
