  Birds are flyin' south for winter.
Here's the Weird-Bird headin' north,
Wings a-flappin', beak a-chatterin',
Cold head bobbin' back 'n' forth.
He says, "It's not that I like ice
Or freezin' winds and snowy ground.
It's just sometimes it's kind of nice
To be the only bird in town."

Shel Silverstein

i liked this poem, because like the bird, i wouldn't mind being the only one in town either. (but then again, i'd miss florida....)

I think it's cool. Imaging someone different but still see himself a good way.
