If We All Had the Same Ideas

If we all had the same ideas,
How boring would life be.
If we all had the same thought,
What would be interesting?
 
If we all had the same grandchild,
How would we share her?
Would she have to go from house to house,
Spending but fifteen minutes with each of us?
 
If we all had the same taste in men,
Would we find him and chase him around unmercifully?
If we all had the same religion, and the same politics,
Could we get along?
 
I doubt it.

I think some people would not be bothered a bit, wanting things that way. Others would find a creative outlet such as painting, dancing, and teach their dogs to dress up in costumes and twirl, so they would not have to associate with other humans, as what would be the point?

Thank you Sand blown. When I grow up I will be a poet-philosopher. Wait! I am never growing up, so scratch that.
