It's an interesting work, but I think that without the music, the words don't have the same impact, and the flow is interrupted by irregular lines.

We are all a little bit different. We just have to find out what herd to run with. If you're a chimp, it's best to not try and join the crocs.

Fine little ditty here, snakey.

The lyrics have a strong message, and being different is definitely not desired, but are we all sheep? No. My favorite is the last verse. I think you could add more to this. It would only get stronger if the same quality of writing is there. Thanks for sharing. Les

    Thanks Les, getting ready, real soon; to share some portions of my book I have been playing around with for years.
    I agree there are probablyl more verses could be added to the poem/song. I guess you have picked up it is mainly to do with churches and people's behaviour that - of course - is not limited to church folks hehe. Thanks again.

You just cleansed me with your beautiful work. I love the uniqueness and ingenuity your song lyrics display.
My best part.
"And get to church on time
Don't worry if the only ones there
are the organist and preacher
There may be another whose
really counting on you.
So be a good disciple
In all you do."

    Yeah well I figured you was a young un as I know you young folks never got the same English Writing etc ed as us old folks ok.
    Can't believe the number of kids getting into high school that still can't read these days...worse than your time even I reckon.

I absolutely love the first verse, I says so much and so many will emphatise with it.

1.Be a little bit diff'rent
And no one talks to you.
Be handicapped no kids -
you've really got a problem
Don't try to be friendly
Just wait till you're told
to shake hands
Then when no one comes near you
Just understand.

Well done Mary

Yes no matter what you do you have to feel like you conform, I like the notion of the everyday that feels that it has to different, if only it were true?
