Being Unique

The art of being unique means the courage to have different thoughts

than anyone else on the planet,

Being able to spurn "copy-cat" ways and aspiring to one's own clout,

Although mimicking may be a form of flattery,

It is better to promote self originality,

As idiosyncratic as our ways may be,

Our silliness has merits and its own fan based gentry,

Therefore being unique is not a bore as long as we have

the creativity and pioneering spirit to row our boats ashore.
