Oxymoron, how I adore,
A figure of speech that I can't ignore.
Jumbo shrimp, a living oxymoron,
An opposite pairing that can't be ignored, hon.

Silent screams that fill the air,
A soundless noise, a truth unfair.
Foolish wisdom, a wise fool,
Contradictory phrases that break the rules.

Bittersweet, a taste divine,
Painful pleasures, a unique design.
Virtual reality, a genuine fake,
A paradox that's hard to shake.

Original copies, a rare find,
A copy that's one of a kind.
Awfully good, an oxymoron at best,
A phrase that's puzzling, surely not jest.

Oxymoron, a speech delight,
A paradox that's a pure sight.
A definite maybe, an impossible chance,
A certain uncertainty, a joyful dance.
