Would I Be Considered Odd?
© 2020 Cindy Prince
If I walked upside down
And downed right side up
If I rode around on an ostrich
And drank lava from a cup
If I high dived in a puddle
And drove up to the moon
If I always ate with my feet
And only went to bed at noon
Chorus
Would I be considered odd
If I didn't speak but only nodded
Would people turn away
If my lips were made of clay
Would people look and stare
If I had Marge Simpson hair?
If I lived in an old western
And had a calico face
If I got home before I left
And ran backwards in a race
If I slept with a jar of Jiffy
Ate grass that has been mowed
If all my friends were turnips
And I talked in secret code
Repeat chorus

Well ya know, it seems like you can make up your own reality these days, so I'd say, no, not too odd.
These lyrics remind me a bit of some of Daevid Allen's more bizarre lyrics for Gong.
I can hear this as a silly kids' song.
Nice.
I love this!
Kinda how I feel sometimes so yeah, umm I mean no
Fantastic fun
Delightfully quirky and visual. Ha, fun!
This is fabulous. So fun, so concise, so you.
Funny and right for pointing a gentle finger at our social stresses. Sharp writing!
