Slightly Damaged by adewpearl



It's not that I'm a nincompoop,
a nit-wit or a ninny.
'Tis only certain matters make
my head a little spinny.

I'm smarter than the average bear -
to claim I'm not is hooey.
But when I need to find my way,
my compass goes kafluey.

You may have heard that I can't cook -
from me you'll get no squabbles.
The merest thought of recipes
can give me collywobbles.

If someone's spread the scuttlebutt
that I can be befuddled,
I must admit technology
  does make my mind all muddled.

So I can't find my north from south
or cook a gourmet dinner -
Take pity on this poet please,
and tell me I'm a winner.

Author Notes
"I'm smarter than the average bear" is what Yogi Bear used to say to boast about his intelligence.
hooey means nonsense
kafluey means out of whack
collywobbles means an upset stomach
scuttlebutt is gossip
