I Like to See Myself As...A Poem by Michael StevensA 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?
