Just because my eyes are uneven And my teeth are tinged with green Doesn't mean I'm unattractive Means my looks are not mainstream I sometimes babble incoherently But my words still have importance Everyone has an opinion to express Some of us have more discordance So what if my hair grows out in tuffs And my nose is crooked and bent It's what's upstairs that really counts It's the brains that pay the rent So when you see a strange looking person Who's considered a little extreme Remember we're all in this together But we're not all a part of mainstream © Jack Ellison 2013

Another wonderful observation Jack. We're all on a path, some take the road less traveled, some people carpool. One had to stop to get some bearing and comment here haha. Nice work as always my friend.
