[bodytext] => Embrace and hug the odd ball Maverick
Then let him go and free to take his leap; T’s is wise to ignore what makes a fellow tick Or why he simply will not follow sheep. Embrace and hug the stubborn Heretic And hold for naught his anathema’s taint; Today he’s spurned and scorned, and gets the stick; Tomorrow he will be declared a saint. Join eulogies and the panegyric For Harlequin, John Doe, or Don Quixote, But mind the stuffed -shirt, bluenose and the prig That passionless knows neither cold nor hot. And keep away of bumptious rhetoric That will not let your little candle burn, But sermonizing tries to dowse its wick Things that each man by his own sweat must learn.
