Ode To Odd
Hail, all you freaks of nature, come
Display your oddities, exotic ones
disfigured maladies to fascinate and stun!
Your grand exhibits marvel and attract
curious crowds that look and gawk and gasp
while inside you are crying, outwardly you act.
Come, see a strange display, half woman and half man
a bearded lady, conjoined twins, a small dwarf upon a stand
micro cephalic women, dressed like dolls, a snake man without hands.
You outcasts of society who lead a lonely life
abused, misused, confused, and often fraught with strife
take heart, the God who made you has you in His sight.
