Odd’s our curious neighbour world,
the habitat of clowns and tellers
of tall tales and anyone with sprawl;
although exploring Odd reveals that
there it’s all askew aslant and topsy-turvy,
with the compass pointers spinning
every way at once; such a curiouser
most confronting disconcerting world’s
enough to drive some to seek asylum
with The Sane and be cocooned in
Common Sense, with Odd domesticated
as relief for therapeutic need; where
none need ever countenance the thought
that Odd might be a conduit for grace
