Some like it hot --> I like it cold...
Some like it new --> I like it old...
Some like it out --> I like it in...
Some like the start --> I like the end...

Some like a crowd --> I like it alone...
Some like to party --> I like to stay home...
Some like the day --> I like the night...
Some like to nibble --> I like to bite...

Some like to work --> I like to play...
Some like to leave --> I like to stay...
Some like to frown --> I like to smile...
Some like an inch --> I like a mile...

Some like to hate --> I like to love...
Some like the hawk --> I like the dove...
Some like their money --> I like what’s free...
Some are contrary --> But I’m simply me...

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

I chuckled all the way through this...It's delightful!!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Great declaration, sunny!  Wonderfully written...

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

Now you aren't all that contrary, are you?
This is cute, and fun. A happy declaration.
