Embrace and hug the odd ball Maverick
Then let him go and free to take his leap;
Ts is wise to ignore what makes a fellow tick
Or why he simply will not follow sheep.
Embrace and hug the stubborn Heretic
And hold for naught his anathemas taint;
Today hes spurned and scorned, and gets the stick;
Tomorrow he will be declared a saint.
Join eulogies and the panegyric
For Harlequin, John Doe, or Don Quixote,
But mind the stuffed -shirt, bluenose and the prig
That passionless knows neither cold nor hot.
And keep away of bumptious rhetoric
That will not let your little candle burn,
But sermonizing tries to dowse its wick
Things that each man by his own sweat must learn.
