    We all know what an Oxymoron is
    Jumbo Shrimp, Military Intelligence, Happily Married.
    I’m sure there is a term for what I’m thinking of, I just don’t know what it is . . .
    maybe you do . . . maybe you don’t . . . ANYways
    this is what I’m talking about
     
    Common Sense, isn’t      (common)
    Wind Breakers, don’t      (break wind)
     
    know of any others, maybe your friends do
    something to think about.
    I’ve given you two to start with
    let’s see what happens
    there's gotta be more out there
