You are

Such a goat!!

by Wendy G

Oh, you are... are you? Contest Winner 


You are mature in looks – that is quite plain …
But you like the idea of inner beauty!

You are okay at cooking – no-one's yet dead …
The family won't complain – they don't dare!

You are a gardener with some plants that thrive …
But the others you hide on "Death Row"!

You are caring about nature, love your pet ...
But what's that poor creature dead on your plate?

You are a nice person – well, mostly at least …
If "they" don't ruffle your fussy feathers!

You are a person who really does care ...
But only when it matches your mood!

You are a thinker with ideas strong and wise …
Different and clear? Or is that a cliché?

You are a writer – but not published yet ...
Write something people will remember!

You are a goat – you did not note all the rules ...
So this poor poem's redone with no rhyme!

You are therefore just average in every way ...
What made you think you'd ever be great?

You are ordinary, like others: that's a good thing ...
You're perfectly normal – just go with the flow!

I submitted the poem below - then was reminded that it must NOT rhyme! What a goat I am! I had to redo it without rhyme at the last minute!
Lol. Just enjoy the original below.

You are no great beauty - that's plain to see
So a great celebrity you'll never be
You are okay at cooking: no-one's yet dead
And your family at least are all well fed.

You are a gardener with some plants that thrive
But other ones find it quite hard to survive
You are caring about nature, love your pets
Yet some animals you eat, without regrets!

You are a nice person - well, mostly at least ...
But let's be honest - at times you're a beast!
You are a person who really does care?
Then actions of love you always must share.

You are a great thinker with ideas so wise ...
Is that the truth? You're not telling lies?
You are a writer ... but not published yet?
You need to write works people can't forget!

You are just so average in every way
What makes you think you'll be great one day?
You are just like all others - you just have to know
You are perfectly normal, so just go with the flow.
