How Odd It Is Poem by Raj Arumugam

it’s funny how
Mr Bean isn’t
known for eating beans
and James Bond
has nothing to do with borrowed money
and interest payments;
Stephen Crane didn’t really
have cranes for relatives
nor was he in the building industry;
and hey, John Carpenter
made movies
and not shelves or kitchen cabinets;
and my neighbor Carol
doesn’t really sing carols
and has the name all year round
and not just during Christmas;
and me, Raj, it’s odd I’m not a king
