Oscar

You can never go overboard at the steambunk convention they said
But they did not know about Oscar, son of OvertheTop Ted.
He designed a steampunk hat that was way over what was expected.
And his beard was so far out, the rest of them rubber-neck-ted.

I did not think he’d be this far out, his friend Drew said to all.
That mustache is crazy too, I will not invite him next fall.
But Oscar won them over, even though his look was over-the-top.
They liked his personality so much, he comes every year;
he has never stopped.
