The Odder - The Better

Its Rather Clever

It certainly makes a commotion

when things are not the same.

Like someone giving you on Valentine's Day

a candy cane.

How about your Birthday,

you eat bread.

Were you not to have cake, instead?

Then, instead of candy on Halloween

they give you a bar of soap.

Honestly, how does anyone cope?

On Christmas, in your stocking, you find a

mouse trap.

It would have been better if you had received a

ball cap.

Now on one Wedding Day, the groom wore

the gown.

My oh my, did that bride have a frown.

St Patrick's Day would never be the same,

if it wasn't for luck.

How about they celebrate with a silly

old duck.

When things aren't the way we

think they should be.

I instead find it amusing and very interesting.

So the more uncommon,

the more interesting it becomes.

Like two odd people becoming chums.
