I've Learned To Live With Perfection

Nobody's perfect but I'm pretty close Don't usually brag about my prowess But sometimes I just get so overwhelmed My enthusiasm for me is boundless You may be annoyed by my constant bragging But when you're as perfect as me It's almost impossible to let it go unnoticed Must share my perfection with thee It's sure not all fun and games living up to Such standards I've set for me Got no one to blame but my own desires For impressing all you ladies, indeed Afflicted by charm and stunning good looks All my life, it's been quite a struggle Living up to the standards I've set for myself But I've really tried to stay humble I am what I am, there's no changing now I've learned to live with perfection Not everyone's able to handle such a burden It's a serious incurable infection (WHAAAAAT?)

Perfect humor, you’ve got, my friend Happy Jack! My son in law always jokes the same…cracks me up. Blessings, dear one. (I bet when you look in the mirror, it winks at you)

beautiful with 'perfect' words. Sorry to hear you've been so burdened with such undeniable perfection, but somebody has to do it. Who better than humble Jack? Just kidding of course. Humility is your cure....and I truly know you have plenty of that. Enjoyed your words this morning. Smiling, Sara
