Strange George Poem by Francis Duggan

Always on his own he does seem rather shy
Strange George is the nickname locals know him by
On his side of the town one by sight well known
Though he is one who is always seen on his own
Getting on in years perhaps seventy or so
One without a friend who does not have a foe
Without a word to anyone for to say
He walks for an hour in the park every day
To most of the locals his is a familiar face
If everyone were like him the World to live in would be a far better place
Since he has never been known for to harm anyone
And enemies he has never made though friends he has never won
Strange George is his nickname though it seems strange to say
That we all can be strange in our own sort of a way.
