Agnes by Tony Cochran for April 28, 2020

I’ve seen what ‘normal’ people do, and I don’t want any part of it.

It’s actually a trick question. Normal for my beloved Agnes is quite abnormal for most.

C’mon, Trout! It’s Agnes’ whacky ideas that spice up your dreary life!

First define “normal”.

Normal is overrated.

Normal people write haikus, for example:

In being normal

I put my pen to paper

I’m hungry, let’s eat.

Anges, you don’t have to go to extremes to be extreme.

With no TV or computer it’s hard to do normal things.

Angnes actually has a good shot at an epic poem, nobody can understand them, but everyone pretends they are great reads.

Love today’s plushie.

With The Iliad as a model? Paradise Lost? Orlando Furioso? Mahabharata? No, I doubt if Agnes has even heard of any of those. I wonder what sort of thing she has in mind. An all-caps limerick?
