I Like to See Myself As...

I Like to See Myself As...

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

A positive self-image!

"

 

Brave beyond belief, smarter than a whip (just how

 

Smart IS a whip?  And I'm sure there are whips

 

That are as dumb as the day is long,

 

Unless it's winter time; then the days aren't so long;

 

So I guess I'd better think of another long deal--err--

 

 Oh well, you know what I mean!)  Yes, my self-image

 

Is--oh, okay, I'm really a chicken-s**t, and I'm really

 

About as smart as your average Presto-Log, although

 

I DO have a smart phone, does that count?

 

Anyway, I live a nice three-bedroom house

 

On Vain Avenue in Fantasy Land; with my one and

 

A half perfect kids with perfect teeth and a hot-looking

 

Perfect wife named Brigit, who greets me every evening

 

Wearing nothing but a smile, a plate of cheese nachos

 

And a cold beer in her hand.  We have to be careful though, lest

 

Our perfect kids see something they shouldn't and

 

Are physiologically messed up for life; come to think about

 

It, I've often passed the mail man hurrying from our house;

 

What's with that?  In the late afternoon?
