Scary Me
There be many ways to display ones physical prowess besides knocking down buildings. Toppling ideas is certainly hard work, but Me get more satisfaction from edifying good things and fabulous ideas.
Although me may not look it, Me be a pretty fair dancer. Me enjoys music and sharing it with a partner can be lots of fun. Think about this, you might agree with me.
What is it about dancing that, when done well, can turn an ordinary being into an exceptional figure of grace and when done poorly can make a respectable person resemble a spastic, pregnant duck.
There are other things that are like this too, but we don’t offer those acts up for public scrutiny. Me saves me throaty singing for the shower and me never goes down to the picture shop to frame me artwork.
Many, many years ago Me found meself entertaining the idea to stand up on a stage and perform for people. Here's why. A colleague of mine was convinced that Me had the makings of a star (Me shoudda known better, he was a cook and the capitain of the shift crew) and were wasting me time in workin in a kitchen besides it was just a bit part and there were no need for rehearsal.
Me liked the idea of being in the limelight, but thought me was better situated in creating things behind the scenes. The last time Me did anything openly Me was chased away by frightened townspeople holding rakes and torches as well as other implements of constructive destruction. Me reluctantly and nervously entered the audition and proceeded to nibble me talons in great distress and consternation. Me din’t spend mor’n a minute doin me thing when the director thanked me and sent me on me way.
Downtrodden, but unsurprised me was walkin toward the stage door when me was approached by one of the production crew and asked to follow him. Puzzled, me wandered through the twisting turning hallways and doors untill me came to a room where men be sittin an smokin and gesticulating wildly.One of them calls me over and asks iffin Me don’t mind havin a part with no lines. Me wasn’t particular me just wanted to see what it be like to show folks a different side o’ me without them getting fearful and tryin to do me harm.
Me agreed and got the chance to become a fearsome hero of sorts. For no matter how scary me was the audience would cheer me on, hoping me would do me best to devour and gobble. the more me roared and lept and chased the happier poeple became. And me finale was greeted with loud cheers and furious applause. It was a time of good fun and one day me hopes to do it again.
There be nothin better than puttin a smile on a child’s face
Iffin you think about it me was perfect for the part. Can you guess what Me is?
Me can’t tell you the time of day. Me no clock.

Can I guess what you is? Hmmm. You're not scary. You're not a monster. What's left? Oh, I know -- I think Shakespeare might have described you as, "(He) (is) that merry wanderer of the night.
(He) jest(s) to Oberon, and make(s) him smile."
Hello, Puck!
SJ (Shakespearian Jester)you are far to erudite. Me is just a simple creature.
I hate to use the word "clown," but was that what you did for the children? Or perhaps a puppet master, maker of balloon animals? Or maybe read a fairy tale with imitations?
Thanks for dropping by my blog, I loved the comment you left.
juju.~ Nope. Me is a scary monster and was in character, of sorts.
The clues are there, if only a few.
Think about a monster that once you knew. Me did not speak, yet you knew Me was there. I was not Puck in green underwear.
I'm guessing you were Godzilla :)
And hoping you weren't Barney!
I loved Godzilla when I was a kid- I couldn't watch it enough...I always thought he was misunderstood~
King Kong would be my second guess :)
You weren't {gulp} Cookie Monster, were you?:)
Mrs.C ~Although Me is a Huge fan of Godzilla, complete with poster in Me living room, Me must say sorry that were not me part in the play.
SJ~ Your attempts are impressive Frome Shakespeare to Sesame st.
But again Me says Look to the post the clues are there to see
Guess correct and you'll recieve.
25 happy, scary monster points!!!!!
If the sun is out it is daytime. If the sun is down it is night time. There ya go!
Grunt~ Always keeping Me in line!
Can anyone say solipsism?
-Fearsome hero
-devour and gobble
-cheered on
-roared and lept
Were you a dog???
Perhaps a Lion?
Once again sorry Mrs.C.
One needs to focus in on the text juuuust a little bit more...
Me has the feelin that the boys at 221 1/2 Baker st. couldn't guess this
Me ego is soaring...
The Boogie Monster? The one that hid under my bed, behind the stairs, in the closet, a shadow next to a chair?
I'm no poet!
juju, Me double whammy gal~ (hint)I did not hide under the bed, but I'd bite off your hand with a snap of Me head. Try again.
Me no poet either
Oh boy!
A dragon? Hmm, or something furry, I see something cuddly and furry, not scary! It's something childhood related, hmmmm. My childhood fears were devils and imps that lived under the bed, you know the red scaly kind with biforcated tails and carried a pitchfork. I crammed a great deal of anything I could find under the bed and in the closet to keep them out. My mother, god rest her soul, claimed it was because I was a messy child...oh no, I was kind of scared of the dark, and what lived under the bed, and in the closets. Boy, that's a story I could write someday!
And you are a poet, don't you know it? LOL ;)
Ooo-Ooo-Ooo!
Were you a Crocodile? Like the one in Peter Pan???
It's ok if I'm wrong- you won't hurt my feelings- and I am having fun :)
