Whimsy
A hypothetical exercise, via Aquandrian.
If I were a month I would be: April ~ the heat of summer a memory, the nip of winter in the air.
If I were a day of the week I would be: Sunday ~ no expectations, but plenty of possibilities.
If I were a time of day I would be: 11pm ~ the threshold of either oblivion or further adventure.
If I were a planet I would be: Pluto ~ unsure whether I belong here or not.
If I were a sea animal I would be: A Whale Shark ~ intimidating but harmless.
If I were a piece of furniture I would be: A CD rack... obviously.
If I were a sin I would be: Doubt ~ not a deadly one, but damaging.
If I were a historical figure I would be: Nikolai Tesla ~ pioneering, yet largely uncredited.
If I were a liquid I would be: Mercury ~ effective, but not necessarily good for you. See also '15yr old Glenlivet Scotch'.
If I were a tree I would be: A Baobab ~ not much to look at, but a welcome sight in the desert.
If I were a flower/plant I would be: Chilli.
If I were a kind of weather I would be: Early morning pre-frost... about 2am.
If I were a musical instrument I would be: A tenor saxophone ~ as played by Sonny Rollins.
If I were an animal I would be: A Draught Horse ~ strong, noble... harnessed.
If I were a colour I would be: Grant Clan Tartan ~ keeping it in the family tradition...
If I were a vegetable I would be: Asparagus ~ not to everyone's taste.
If I were a sound I would be: A behind-the-nut 6-string strike on an overdriven electric guitar... tremeloed... as played by Adrian Belew.
If I were an element I would be: O3. Holed...
If I were a car I would be: A late 50s Porsche ~ slow by today's standards, but classy.
If I were a song I would be: 'Avalanche' by Leonard Cohen ~ dark yet proud.
If I were a film I would be directed by: The Coen Brothers ~ moody, quirky, accidentally mainstream.
If I were a book I would be written by: Edmund Crispin ~ comical, satirical, murder-mysterious.
If I were a food I would be: A Nan-Xiang Pork Bun ~ misleadingly named, innocuous-looking, but surprisingly flavourful & even better with chilli paste... & brown vinegar.
If I were a place I would be: Purgatory ~ neither here nor there.
If I were a material I would be: Worn leather ~ slightly frayed, but comfortable.
If I were a taste I would be: Lemon & sugar.
If I were a scent I would be: Cigar smoke ~ again, not to everyone's taste.
If I were a word I would be: 'Whimsical'... or maybe 'Capricious'.
If I were an object I would be: A bookmark ~ not sure why... the notion simply appeals.
If I were a body part I would be: The thumb ~ useful.
If I were a facial expression I would be: A raised eyebrow ~ querying, suggestive, sardonic, subtle.
If I were a cartoon character I would be: Droopy.
If I were a shape I would be a: Trapezoid ~ square... knocked sideways.
If I were a number I would be: 13 ~ lucky for some...
