Everybody Funny

In a song I like,

Which I rarely hear,

Called “One Bourbon,”

And “One Scotch, One Beer,”

There’s a line I love

And the way it goes 

“Everybody funny,”

I suppose,

Is the perfect way

To describe us all,

For there’s nobody

That I recall

Without traits and quirks,

Both the good and bad,

That can make you smile

Or can drive you mad.

Human ways to be

One can thus define 

As unique and, yes,

That’s including mine.

We get through our lives 

In our “funny” ways

As George Thorogood*

Catches in that phrase.
