So common, me. Two eyes, a nose
a belly-button, whiskers, and ten toes
So much like anyone, I could be confused
for conservative or liberal, user or used
"I'm not like them!" I exclaim
but in which way are we not the same?
because I'm given a different name?
Don't I speak nonsense too?
and eat and sleep, and also poo
like Buddhist, Catholic or Jew?
I'm "special", I've been told
perhaps even a thing to behold
and oh! how my ego takes hold
But I'm not, I'm as simple and plain
as a bubble of champagne
a tiny link in a fantastic chain
an unremarkable little grain
in the field of the mundane
