Droll
Some say that I am silly.
Some say that I am sad.
A few say I'm chilly,
While some say I'm mad.
I guess it all depends upon
The way I am when you
See if my ways will make you yawn
Or you like the things I do.
I guess it would be fair to say
My humor can be droll,
But that's because on any day
Silliness is my day's goal.
