Nothing But A Number
More of my original writing today. Enjoy!
Nothing But A Number
‘Normal’ is the number of people who can walk
Those who don’t walk on their toes.
‘Normal’ is the number of people who can talk
Those who breathe through their own nose.
‘Normal’ are the number who use the spoken word
Not those who sign, point or smile.
‘Normal’ are the number who believe in God, world’s Lord
Not those who can’t run a mile.
‘Normal’ is the number of people who can hear
Not those who are born with one missing ear.
‘Normal’ is the number of people who can see
‘Normal’ is right, or so they tell me.
‘Normal’ is the number of people who can stand
Not those born in what others call a strange land.
‘Normal’ is the number of girls who wear high heels
Not those who watch with jealousy from seats on four wheels.
‘Normal’ is the number of boys who kick footballs
Not those who watch with jealousy through small holes in big brick walls.
‘Normal’ is the number of adults who can drive
‘Normal’ is the number of babies who survive.
They’ve been told more are ‘normal’ than those who are not
That’s all that makes them think they have some things we haven’t got.
But this ‘normal’ is only a number, you see
I’m as ‘normal’ as you, and you’re as ‘normal’ as me!
Same Difference 
Very nice. You should write things like this more often.
