What Is Normal

A bit of tongue in cheek as usual! What is normal Normal is in the eye of the beholder Someone walking down the street devoid of clothes Is definitely not considered normal But who sets the standards Who was the first to say we must cover up That dangly thing down below What makes it so offensive Why does the sight of it make us uncomfortable If nakedness was all we knew from birth Then it would be quite normal Society for some unknown reason Aside from freezing to death in the winter Has dictated it to be beyond common decency Would we be having sex in the street Would our sexual urge overcome us Sure makes for some interesting debates I'd be all for nudity up to the age of thirty But then, for the love of Pete Cover up!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

Ah Jack... You worry too much about dangly parts. Be more like me. I'm worried about getting my kitty off my computer keys, every time I write. Or Dragons fire when my puppy barks at him...Silly Dragon and DUMB puppy! I'm just grateful my house hold is so normal! By the way, Nobody has to wear clothes around here. But my advise to everyone is 'DO IT' or it'll get singed!... Oh! Do you have any coupons for barbecue sauce? Need to shop today. Times a wasting! Hey! Silly Dragon! Can't catch me...
