It is extremely funny
How smiling is infectious
Yet you cannot be infected by a smile
And it's really most bizarre
That you said you were listening
When you weren't really listening all the while
And it's very very odd
The Cox's Orange is an apple
And Bombay Duck a weird kind of fish
And it's strange that girls from Herts
Are almost never tarts
While Essex girls are always Dawn or Trish
And it's funny how we taste
A corked wine in a restaurant
And say That's fine! even though it's crap
And it's strange how we embark
Upon marriage in the dark
When for other trips we take a torch and map
LIfe is strange, indeed, and this poem only touches the surface, though the point touched in the last three lines resonates with many of us, I'm sure.
