"Peculiar" people

A silly poem about acceptance:

Strange, Yet wonderful

Strange, yet wonderful, Judy Brown,

Once she worked as a rodeo clown,

Now she’s the librarian of her town,

You’ll never see her wear a frown,

Strange, yet wonderful, Judy Brown,

Strange, yet wonderful, Mabel May,

She rides a unicycle to work each day,

Sometimes juggling as she rides away,

She does what she does, in her own special way,

Strange, yet wonderful Mabel May,

Strange, yet wonderful, Francis Clyde,

She carries a satchel by her side,

Filled with books; her joy and pride,

Her originality she does not hide,

Strange yet wonderful, Francis Clyde,

Strange, yet wonderful, Doris Prat

Walking by with a feather in her hat,

She takes a stroll with her large gray cat,

She wears thick glasses; she’s as blind as a bat,

Strange, yet wonderful, Doris Prat,

“Peculiar” people are judged all the time,

But being different is not a crime,

Accept those who aren’t just like you,

I’m sure you’ve met quite a few,

Like these ladies, everyone is unique,

If uniformity is what you seek,

Then you will miss the spice and flare,

And you may only stop to stare,

Unexpectedly, others can be delightful,

And strange, yet wonderfully insightful!
