everyone has a right to be ordinary
not famous, not pretty and cool
just there, without a care in the world
moving from scene to ordinary scene
pet a cat, have an allergy to fur
sneeze and have a runny nose
take out the trash, pay last month’s bill
fart quietly to avoid accusing eyes
rewatch ‘doctor who’ the twentieth time
hide a holey sock ‘neath another blanket
play ‘monster hunter’ for ten hundred hours
then lay in the dark from a monster migraine
then rise up and go, step onto the roof
spread those wings and make that jump
and save the whole world, once or thrice
because it’s hep to ordinary people

Tony,
Ordinary is wonderful but we need those moments on the extra. That spices it up.
Thanks, Gary

More power to the ordinary person, say I, for the world is ours… despite a certain type of person is yet to realise it. Or maybe they realise and are jealous, thus they try to destroy it
Wow, that went further than I intended!

He’s probably sneakily playing another round of ‘Monster Hunter’. 😛

Oh, far too energetic altogether; I’m much more ordinary.
