Norm

I was brought up well

respected my parents

and never drew trouble to the door

I worked hard at school

was good at sport

and passed my exams

I married young

fathered four, taught them well

and never wandered

I’ve hurt no-one,

have protected some

never used drugs

I pay my taxes

never taken benefits

observe the highway code

I’m not a hero, neither brave

nor a coward

but I’ll look you in the eye

I’m normal, just normal

most of us are

so what’s your problem?
