Being Me
By Talisker
31 August 2006
A fairly light hearted look at one's own ego.

Oli


Its jolly hard work being me,
How I wish I was ordinary.
This excess of talent!
This brain like a planet!
How I envy your simplicity!


Its jolly hard work being me,
This fellow of infinite glee.
I'm a closet curmudgeon!
I would happily bludgeon,
A person or two, maybe three.


Its jolly hard work being me,
This perfect Adonis you see.
All the female attention,
Demands I can't mention.
Bless your luck being so ugly!


Its jolly hard work being me,
Why can't I be stupid and free?
In fact thats it, I quit!
Goodbye arrogant shit!
Farewell world, I was too good for thee!

BEING YOU
Written by Josie (2849 comments posted) 31st August 2006
It must be awfully hard being YOU 
Such people are relatrively few. 
You are just in your prime 
With your well chosen rhymes - 
And I don't think that you need my review. 
 
It must be difficult being so proud - 
With your head up so high in the clouds. 
Keep the rhymes going - 
The words sweetly flowing - 
And keep well ahead of the crowd. 
 
When you know you are really the best 
And your poems stand out from the rest, 
Don't be lazy and shirk, 
Keep up the good work, 
Rest assured that we're very impressed.

Enjoyed both of these. 
 
Only fairly light hearted? 
 
A good wheeze and a good repost. 
 
Phil.
