Not weird enough

This week's entry is the first of a special new series by guest contributor: Susan the Obscure. Thanks Susan! We look forward to enjoying your words of wisdom.

I've noticed a trend

I hope the trend ends

For young women to claim

on the comedy stage

that they are 'odd', 'weird' and 'strange'

It's apparently all the rage

But take heed young gals

you've got too many pals

and stories about dances and parties and friends

and normal events like childhood and travel

and sweet little white lies that innocently unravel

...

Yawn

...

Your tales are sweet

your performances are neat

but in order to claim the titles of 'odd'. 'strange' or 'weird'

you really have to ramp up the stakes

Weirdness is something you can't fake

My advice I hope you'll take

Otherwise I'll come after you and stab you with a rake
