AVERAGE

No one tries to be average;
it's not a dirty word!
Folks think by being average,
ideas won't be heard,
or taken "serious enough"-
I beg to differ, though--
Lake Wobegone's messed up our minds;
we've got new stuff to know!
About our souls and lives and grins--
our work and all its stress--
for me, I'll take plain average:
my honest way to go!
Bring on for me more normal days,
and then just let me rest!
For me, persuing average
is nothing but the best!
