Pineapples on pizza



A mix of things that just don’t belong.
Oxymorons; things that are just plain wrong.
Awfully good examples, examine the samples.
Like an ordinary miracle or a righteous sin,
What about ill health, old news, or a living end?

Contradicting terms, meanings turned.
An unconscious awareness by the wise fool.
The faithfully unfaithful so falsely true,
Definitely maybe, don’t do.

Oh! Good grief, now think.
Pure evil, no Lord, or a perfect man.
Things that are just plain mad.
