It's Good to be Crazy!

'There's nowt so queer as folk', 'tis said
Can't we take this truism as read?
Take Belgium's wackiness - pure joy
Such fun The System to annoy!

In us, thank God, the brain contrives
To find escapes from template lives
In new pools of thought we swim
Let's go out boldly on a limb!

I'm convinced my friends are cracked,
For the 'straight and narrow' way is flat
And being off-beat has such charm
Quirkiness is boredom's balm!

What's normal? Who knows how we rock?
Why do things always 'by the clock'?
Originality is key
Surreal's a better way to be!

The poet hopes to set in motion
Weird thoughts and ideas in a potion
The rhyming pattern gives them form;
With luck more craziness is born!
