Yes, it's true.
I've work to do
in becoming charismatic
for I am enigmatic.
A bellowing bull
who's quite full
of himself?
There is no doubt.
An oracle of obscurity,
lacking maturity,
I open my spout
letting words out,
whether nouns or verbs,
which often cause a stir.
It's not intentional,
though unprofessional.
A medical diagnosis
could be psychosis.
I'm not schizophrenic,
only somewhat pathetic.
I ain't no dope.
There might be hope.
I'm only seventy-three.
Might you see a new me?
Don't hold your breath
It could be dangerous,
for to tell the truth,
which I always do,
I'll likely stay
"As I Am."
