I'd choose a different name than...

I have been accussed of being everyone on this site I think at one time or the other and I have now been called a posuer, (more than one indentity on WC). Unfortunately I am only me, just Jack.

I’d choose a different name than…

 

 

Can you tell me who I’d be

If like you say, I am not me

I see myself most everyday

With still the same face on display

 

My picture on this site is real

I have no secrets to conceal

Even as the insults mount

You’ll never find a closed account

 

You think I sometimes go by Red

Or Frieda, that is what you said

John McFadyen, there’s a name

Though I am not one and the same

 

Rita, Angel, Icelandicblue

You point the finger, say, “They’re you”

So many people I could be

But sad to say I’m only me

 

I think you’ll find, I am a man

Not Holly Mason, Carolann

Noodlehead or Lily Mae

Or any other name you say

 

Keith or Sami, Thomas too

And now there’s Dean, that’s something new

Eglantine, oh yes Marie

None of these fine folks are me

 

Tammy, Kristin, Elisa L.

Makes me wonder, what the hell

All fine poets, I must say

Veronica,  and Girl Friday

 

Que Sera Sera, Constance Payne

Still you’ll find Jack is my name

Angi, Astro, Rhythm and Blues

They’re not me, perhaps they’re you

 

Aurora, Ken or David Scott

You say they’re me, I say they’re not

Then there’s Baby Ricochet

Still not me, you’ll hear me say

 

I Have a Voice, Kimmer, Quill

Keely Jane, now Doug or Jill

Insanity, Boy of the Red

Jacob's name I think you've said

 

Though everyone you seem to name

Are all my friends here just the same

Robbie, Emma, Dhaye and Rose

Add more names, my friend list grows

 

So let me say in words so true

I’m only me, I am not you

And if I was (said with a grin)

I’d choose a different name than…

 

 

Author's Note

Some humor to respond to the constant accusations. All in fun my friends.

Thank you for reading

I do the prayers, Jack does the romance. Obviously he is me...or I am him...or we are Rita...or Jacob is really Red, or the Stapler slipped into the Noodlehead, and we have Pickles to go, or else the Quill Ricochet off of the Baby, and Jack was a Girl Friday, and dig them Rythm and Blues...but...um...and...but...
Oh, I can't keep it all straight!!!!!
I am he and he is me and we are he and we are altogether...koo koo ka choo...
Jack is the Walrus!!!

See, I knew I could figure it all out... Brilliant piece, Jack...erm...OH I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!

[Frieda P]

Literally laughing my arse off here!!

[Angel]

Oh, don't do that...what will you sit on?

[Jack...]

I hope you had fun on your Magical Mystery Tour, Angel. Everyone knows I am Stu Sutcliffe...way to rub it in. Thanks so much my dear friend.

[Frieda P]

They think I've totally lost it downstairs, what could possibly be so funny Tara asks me? hahaha

[Jack...]

You just tell Tara that she is me, she will understand

[Frieda P]

I think your dance card is full just Jack, you couldn't possibly take on another identity.

[Jack...]

It's just a four letter, two syllable indentity...nothing for an expert like me.

[Angel]

Roll up...roll up for the Mystery Tour...

[Jack...]

Ok, just tell Tara I said, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

The Magical Mystery Tour is coming to take you away.

[Frieda P]

She has the giggles now, just from watching me laugh ;-P

[Frieda P]

As one of those accused of multiple personalities here, I can relate, and I'm also so hysterical I can barely contain myself to write this! You did a bang up job here my friend, love that you mentioned so many great poets in getting your point across, but then again Rita could really be Dr Wood, they're both pretty funny, maybe she puts on her suspenders at night keep us entertained. As I've said, I'm confuzzeled, and also sick of the lunatic in his head! Good one Jack, keep laughing, it'll confuse those that can't see through the peace act too....still laughing!

[Jack...]

Thank you so much my sweet friend and I hate to say it but I've been told the "P" after your name stands for "Perhaps." Just saying. :)

[Frieda P]

Fallon! ;-P

[Jack...]

Thanks Posy...oh damn, I gave it away.

[redflutterby]

Pickle begins with the letter p....that's your sesame street lesson for today!

[Frieda P]

Don't make fun of pickles, the minions gave me that name!

[Jack...]

Today's letter is "P". Oh wait, I have to use the bathroom...be right back.

[redflutterby]

Omg...bahahaha.... Hysterical!!! I can I state that the only person I am is little old me!! The fact that this accusation has been thrown out on the poems of writers who have no axe to grind and have so admirably maintained a neutral stance is what pisses me off. Of course when the administration closes the loop hole which allowed many on here to verbally harrass those who blocked via reviews of others poems , what else can this accuser do??

[Jack...]

I suppose he can read this poem Red (or whoever you are). :)>

[redflutterby]

Haha....don't feed the rumor mill Jack. Geez... ;-pp

[Mark]

very funny write and kind of sad that people have nothing better to do.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Mark. I often use humor as my shield.

[Rita L. Sev]

If you were me, I'd have to insist that you shave... and if you were all of these - damn, that's a lot of different kinds of poetry! You must be a genius! :)

[Jack...]

Darn, that's the one name that hasn't been tagged to me yet. :) Thank Rita.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow . You tell it like it is Jack and you don't fear the truth . The truth will set us free. I like the humor aspect in this write too. Best things like you said is be oneself and be straightforward in all our writings and matters of life...Well done as always...:)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Sami

[Sami Khalil]

MY pleasure...:)
