Ken Rone Poet Rhyme

I Am Me, You Are You - Nursery Rhyme

I have one sock and it is blue
Here’s another, which makes two.

But the second sock is red and white!
There’s something here that is not right.

What if I search and cannot find
That other sock that’s just like mine?

I’ll just wear THESE that aren’t a match!
Because I’m different, what’s wrong with that?

We’re not the same, YOU can be You,
And THEY be THEY, and be friends too!
