Eccentric and Proud of It
If you don't have a garden,
You can still cultivate your eccentricities without pardon.
It is not that hard,
Even if you have no yard.
As long as you have a book,
You can achieve that eccentric look,
Without money in the bank,
Or petrol in the tank.
Eccentricities will grow inside your concrete box,
Even if you have no locks.
You can grow one on the run,
If you really want some fun.
It is best to start when you are young,
So you never have to carry a gun,
As eccentricity gives you a better way to act,
And that is a fact.
If you plan to grow old,
Without being alone in the cold,
Then your eccentricity should take centre stage,
As it only gets better with age.
Our grandson I am pleased to announce,
Is now leading us in a dance,
We think he will be eccentric by the time he is two,
And will teach his Mother to be eccentric too.
So, if you want your personality to become electric,
A little cultivating will make you eccentric,
Giving you the best chance,
In leading a life of fun and romance.
