"Some folks seem so queer and quaint: Wearing denim, saying 'ain't,' Men without a collar on, Girls without a bit of paint -- Almost ev'rywhere we've gone, Through the mountains, by the sea, Quaint and queer they seem to be. "Queer and quaint so many are: Come and stand around your car, Look you over up and down; You will find them near and far, Almost ev'ry little town, Girls with bonnets, men with pipes -- I just love to study types. "Some folks seem so quaint and queer; Here they live year after year; How they stand it I don't know. What amusement is there here?" Nothing much, perhaps -- although Now and then a car goes through With some people such as you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABOVE AND WITHIN by DAVID IGNATOW MY HAPPINESS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON PLEDGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
