I knew a seafaring goat
Who sailed in a bathtub boat
Oddest boat ever seen
And he was always very clean 
Strange that bathtub could float...

Old Paddy went to the pub dressed in green
The oddest sight the boys had ever seen
He wore thigh high hose
All covered in bows
Of cross dressing he was crowned this year's queen

After her husband’s death,
The Countess Antoinette de
Bethune Palogne,
lived twenty-five years alone.
Each day to show her faithfulness,
She did the oddest deed.
To her husbands skull kept on her desk,
From his favorite two books she would read.

Hidden Face Man of Des Moines was carrying his steed to Derby Town.
It’s the oddest sight, agreed a jokester, a monkey, a duck and a clown.
Onlookers wanted to take a peek, for it is not a matter of course
When you see a man in a turban carrying a brown upside down horse....

There once was a man from Warsaw
Whose appearance was terribly flawed
A contorted face
His body a disgrace
People looking at him would guffaw

The wife of the man from Warsaw
Was positively perfect as I recall
Pretty as can be
Built quite flawlessly
The oddest couple that you ever saw...

Knowing in that moment,
That it was meant to be.
It opened up my eyes,
And changed my life for me.

All I knew was sorrow,
Pain and infidelity.
Then I found happiness,
In the oddest place to me.

There was real true love,
I knew this to be true.
And who is this love, you ask?
Why, of course, it's you!...

If heaven is our home
the cosmic realm
where we come from
and return
this would mean…
that by default…
our life here on earth 
is actually us
deciding to
take a break
from heaven
now…
is it just me
or 
is that not
the oddest
most mindblowing
concept
you ever heard

One who’s smile 
could make flowers grow
Just know
I remember 
The sunrise in your eyes
The sunset in your smile
The most captivating sunset
That will remain in my mind
The purest I’ll remember
The sour with sweets
But desire for one
Which was the oddest of all 
Stranger your smile
For I’m sure it will remain near
For the rest of my years...

Would anybody again board a ship
In which he'd shaken hands with hardship
Luckily saved by God we worship
Nearly the sharks joined from a flag ship?
Would one for the sake of kinship
Try the riskier journey of Airship
For a life to whom goes ownership
Or might one forfeit one's clear headship?

For God's sake let's shun every vessel
That makes one with oddest life wrestle....

Sun didn't rise on proud purple horizon
       Dark thick gray clouds hid the sun source totally
Birds seek yummy seeds in the oddest stations
      God provides hidden windblown seeds amazingly

Inside with family to stay dry simply
      A home with four walls, a roof, needs  multiply
Provided by God through a working husband
      Respect_honor he deserves for honest hands...

My friend came in wearing the oddest expression.
I thought someone had died, my first impression.
She has a new job, pays as much as she makes here.
Will get more appreciation, that is abundantly clear.

I did not understand the tears, in no way did see….
“I will miss you, “she said. “You always avidly support me.”
Surely there are other people in her life who lift her up!
We will be friends forever, I tell her. I am your pup!...

I have a little brother, my parents named him Hugh.
It’s my parent’s favorite name, because it’s my name too.
I have a sister, Hugh, our cat, and our dog too,
Share the same name with each other, just to name a few
We might be the oddest gang that you ever knew.
That’s ok, we don’t mind sharing a name, you see.
It’s my parents’ favorite name, because it’s my name too.
We are Hugh together, and forever, Hugh, we’ll be....

LOVE MAYBE KIND LOVE MAYBE SWEET
BUT WHEN IT GETS DEEP DOWN IT CAN KNOCK YOU OFF YOUR FEET
SOME DON'T DESERVE IT AND SOME ALWAYS THINK IT IS TRUE
WHEN YOU WANT IT YOU NEVER GET IT 
BUT IT COMES TO YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT 
YOU CAN FIND IT IN THE ODDEST THINGS
SOMETIMES UNSHAPELY AND UNFIT
BUT WHEN YOU DISCOVER LOVE NEVER LET IT GO 
HOLD IT TIGHT CLOSE TO YOUR HEART
PUT IT WHERE EVER YOU WANT 
BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T LET IT GO...

I had the oddest experience 
Tonight
my son, was not my kind
And I kinda didn't know what to do
my son was being you
you
but he doesn't know you
and you don't deserve a mention
So forget that I did
I'm at odds
so nothing matters?
Everything I taught him
is nothing?
My sweet Son
Sun
I can't accept this DNA crap
I won't
allow you to be asshole to the mother of your child
I am so sorry, my sweet, I don't take your side

love mom...

memories in my head come out 
at the oddest times.

when I am just sitting 
I will remember
some odd little thing

 that happened in a
grocery store in 1973, 
or a weird feeling I had
when looking out a window 
of a hotel in 2003.


Things that seemed 
not at all memorable at
the time they happened 

apparently were 
much more prevalent
than I would have
ever believed.

Why I know the
dates is anyone's
guess

Another anomoly...

On men mounting the oddest pressure,
Little time for the truest leisure;
Many doctors neatly can measure
The losses from the things we treasure...

It's a breathless pursuit of treasures
And ceaseless the cases of seizures,
Many a chapter lent to rude closures
 That's for us treasure and pressures...

Then, let us fail not the right measures
To romances reduce with seizures:
I would rather it came last Treasure
And, first, how to Safe Dangers measure....

I love your Halloween costumes! A little boy piped up.
Iggy laughed, and coffee spilled out of Giggy’s cup.
What is this Halloween thing? Giggy asked, wondering true.
They were aliens from Planet X6, these odd little two.

Halloween! You know! The child said with a laugh.
This kid is as funny as the animals we saw yesterday – a pink giraffe!
You saw a pink giraffe! The child said You two are funny!
Until this, the aliens thought the oddest earth idea was the concept of money....
