Difference is not Abnormality

I before e, except after c As in “piece” or “niece”, “belief” or “Brie”, The rule that school drummed into me But there’s no such thing as conformity Albeit that most words comply Some do not and that is why You cannot deal in absolutes Some words have different attributes Do not perceive this general rule, (Should you not wish to prove the fool) Applies in every sentence formed That’s not the case - be well informed For words in their complexity. Enhance our rich vocabulary Just because there’s an exception Is not grammatical deception Difference is not abnormality But a part of life’s rich tapestry When we solder our soul to the page It’s what brings colour to the beige Embrace our differences and see This world’s a better place to be.
