LUNATICS: In praise of oddballs and non-conformists

	All of us are lunatics!
	So what?
	Where's dah lettuce 'n cheese?

	Most people claim to be "normal"
	I say they're mediocre.

	Mediocre is a two-dollar McDonalds hamburger
	instead of a
	fruity-alfalfa-tofutti.

	Mediocre is an automobile parking attendant
	wishing to become
	an architect designing space colonies.

	Mediocre is a high school English teacher
	who should be
	a Nobel laureate.

	You think you's mediocre?
	Most people will label you krazy –
	society breeds mediocrity.

	Real lunatics cook
	with fresh home-grown vegan pastrami
	refusing to accept bullsheeet
	or genetically-engineered bologna.

	Real kooks haf spicy cocks &
	wonderfully well-flavored kunts
	dat don't bekum stale buns
	err lifeless, bland sausages.

	Look!
	The world iz already full ah mediocrity –
	why worry 'bout a few lunatics?

	Take yer pallid hamburgers
	throw away all datz stale
	& celebrate whun life cums!


Brice:      (laughing) Hey wait! I'z nut a lunatick.

Carlos:     Yeah – you is!

Brice:      Nah. I know  I'm dun krazy. Lunaticks are farts who take themselves too seriously.

Carlos:     (wryly) Are you serious about that?
