English poem - THE REBEL - D.J ENRIGHT

When everybody has short hair,

The rebel lets his hair grow long.

When everybody has long hair.

The rebel cuts his hair short.

When everybody talks during the lesson.

The rebel doesn’t say a word.

When nobody talks during the lesson.

The rebel creates a disturbance.

When everybody wears a uniform,

The rebel dresses in fantastic clothes.

When everybody weans fantastic clothes,

The rebel dresses soberly.

 In the company of dog lovers,

The rebel expresses a preference for cats.

In the company of cat lovers.

The rebel puts in a good word for dogs.

When everybody is praising the sun,

The rebel remarks on the need for rain.

When everybody is greeting the rain.

The rebel regrets the absence of sun.

When everybody goes to the meeting,

The rebel stays at home and reads a book.

When  everybody stays at home and reads a book,

The rebel goes to the meeting.

When everybody says , Yes Please

The rebel says, NO thanks you.

When everybody says, No thank you,

The rebel says, yes please.

It is very good that we have rebels. 

You may not find it very good to be one.
