kitsch

take my searching soul
dress it up and decorate
with whimsical kitsch
add a dash of irony and
a hint of nostalgia mixt
my recipe for happy me
and those of stodgy stuff
might look down upon
and might frown upon
my flibbertigibbet psyche
because they are not like me
and they may accomplish more
so mature and cultivated
with self-importance so inflated
but I'll measure my success
with who I love and what I make
not by who I can defeat
or what I can take or break
