What is it like to BE UNPOPULAR?
Just LOOK AROUND, and you will see,
Everyone else is BEING NOTICED, but
For some reason, OVERLOOK ME!!

Am I really that DULL and BORING,
Am I that FEROCIOUS TO YOUR SIGHT,
Just because I'm FAT and PUDGY,
I'm not your FANTASY or your DELIGHT???

Is it REALLY, REALLY that IMPORTANT???
Referring to POPULARITY,
Being NOTICED, ADMIRED or ENVIED, and
I MEAN THAT FIGURATIVELY!!!!

Do you want me to be your ENTOURAGE!!
Follow you around and KISS YOUR A**???
Be a PAWN ON YOUR CHESSBOARD, or
walk away with DIGNITY AND CLASS!!!

SO, WHAT!!!, IF I'M NOT POPULAR,
Who's cares, IF I DON'T HAVE FRIENDS,
Who gives a hoot, IF NO ONE SEES ME,
cos, in the end, I STILL CAN WIN!!!!

So, GO ON WITH YOUR POPULARITY!!!
Your RICHES, your HAUTIESNESS and CHARITY,
Just to make it CLEAR WITH CLARITY!!!,
I accept myself:
MOST DEFINITELY!!!!!!

If I am rich,
then I’ll strive for joy and happiness rich;
If I am poor,
then I’ll strive for joy and happiness poor.
If I am popular,
then I’ll strive for joy and happiness popular;
If I am outcast,
then I’ll strive for joy and happiness outcast.
If  I am famous,
then I’ll strive for joy and happiness famous;
If I am unknown,
then I’ll strive for joy and happiness unknown.

I would rather be
unpopular
for all the right reasons
than popular
for all the wrong ones.

I have some pretty unpopular opinions.

Acts of stringing string cheese have always seemed so wrong!
Maybe people say I'm strange because I like some songs.

And that's just the beginning...

Being human, so many think that microwaves pose danger.
I can't imagine why you'd think that radiation's any stranger.
Getting some exposure is sure to not endanger!

Word for wet: "moist?" I don't exactly hate it.
Everyone seems to, though, so I don't bother to debate it.
I don't think that sidewalks are dangerous if they're cracked.
Right! That's not an opinion, it's a cold hard fact.
Definitely, it's a hazard to leave vaccines ignored.
Oops, some disagree! Time to give Darwin Awards.
Can you find the secret sentence? My last three poems should give a hint!

It's still not ok, but then again, when has it ever been...

There's nothing but grey skies
I can just about glimpse them through the door
As much as I tried
I still find it hard
Sitting on the lowest stair
Watching through the screen door

A simple comfort, it always is
Watching as the first few drops fall from the sheets of clouds
Creating channels across the dirt on the glass
Bright, despite everything
Bright against the pale white paint

Its good to not have to think
It can get overwhelming
And I'll admit to one thing
As much as I'm remiss to static opinion
Catching just a glimpse or two of
A passing black bird or
Something...

Just to remind me

I see them laughing, shimmering,
All around her.
She is the river,
the lithe, gurgling river
That everyone plunged into.
While I?
I am the cold icy drip from the eaves
That trickles down one's neck and makes them cringe.
I don't mind being unnoticed
Being forgotten
Being alone
I just mind that I mind so much.

I am of an unpopular opinion
that if you have yourself, my dear
you are never alone.

Star of Bethlehem is trending but is not liked.

*Strange!
I do not understand how Star of Bethlehem trended with only two likes

Sometimes I think poets are full of ****
Because so many of them use beautiful words,
When talking about birds.

I mean I only notice birds:
When they wake me up at nine am on Saturdays
Or **** on my dark colored car
Or mock my bored-eyed cat
Or beg for my sandwich at the beach

Honestly when you talk about listening to birds tweeting,
I think first of Twitter.

And when you talk about birds playing,
I think of professional football.

And even when you talk about the cool birds, the night birds,

I think of a particularly disturbing YouTube video of an owl's head going all the way around.

Yeah, I think what you guys like most about birds,
Is that they're easy to rhyme with words.
