I like it that she’s unusual,
I prefer knowing she’s that way,
She is a fair and rare jewel,
And never fails to make my day.

Quirky is cool and peculiar,
Outlandish, zany and bizarre,
It rings a familiar bell,
And makes this girl a star.

A star that shines in the morning,
And glows in my heart all night,
She came into my life without warning,
She shines like a burning light.

She walks and talks in rare etudes,
A feeling we both share,
Will she be the one under the sun
I wonder if we’ll dare.

Sailing in a saloon-like ship,
Along the long South Coast,
All equipped for the trip,
She moves through the air, just like a ghost.

There’s a semblance of strangeness,
Idiosyncratic and unconventional too,
She arrives armed with her changes,
A star out of the blue.
