Norm

Meet a character named Norm

Who's a caricature of the norm.

Always in his uniform,

All his ways are uniform.

The worst thing in all Creation?

A nonstandard deviation.

Every step and move

Fits strict into a groove.

By all means toe the line!

So goes Norm's conformed mind.

This reality of normality

Courtesy of the mentality.

But

When Norm transforms

The uniform norm

Then Norm learns

To be transformed.

"Monotony? Not for me!

Variety seems right to me.

Variety's the light for me.

Variety puts light in me --

A spice that's nice

On the rice of my life."

Conformity to uniformity:

Insanity of humanity.

The lameness and hilarity

Of sameness and similarity.

Formality of legality

O' rigged reality!

The bore needs more

Originality.

To vary can be scary

But to vary is very

Needful and necessary.
