3 years on…

Ogden Nash sums up my feelings on three years of Get Shouty (even if bloggers aren’t very useful, because they aren’t consumeful but they are quite produceful) in No Doctor’s Today, Thank You:

They tell me that euphoria is the feeling of feeling wonderful,
well, today I feel euphorian,
Today I have the agility of a Greek god and the appetitite of a
Victorian.
Yes, today I may even go forth without my galoshes,
Today I am a swashbuckler, would anybody like me to buckle
any swashes?
This is my euphorian day,
I will ring welkins and before anybody answers I will run away.
I will tame me a caribou
And bedeck it with marabou.
I will pen me my memoirs.
Ah youth, youth! What euphorian days them was!
I wasn’t much of a hand for the boudoirs,
I was generally to be found where the food was.
Does anybody want any flotsam?
I’ve gotsam.
Does anybody want any jetsam?
I can getsam.
I can play chopsticks on the Wurlitzer,
I can speak Portuguese like a Berlitzer.
I can don or doff my shoes without tying or untying the laces because
I am wearing moccasins,
And I practically know the difference between serums and antitoccasins.
Kind people, don’t think me purse-proud, don’t set me down as
vainglorious,
I’m just a little euphorious.

Thanks for having me. Please say hello!

Dear Get Shouty Blog,
To think, I knew you when you were just a twinkle in Katie’s eye … and now look at you. So grown up. Your mother would be proud!
Congratulations!

Three years? wow, a real lesson that persistence does bring results. Thank you for sharing some great stuff on here certainly in the year that I’ve been reading it.
