My Alter Ego

I've had an 'out of body experience' So you can't blame me for what I did My alter ego perpetrated the crime To do such a thing I'm too timid I'm totally innocent of this heinous act I'd have had to be devoid of all morals Listen I still do have a few of them left With that you surely can't quarrel This heinous act of stealing a kiss Had crossed my mind a few times But being such a timid soul that I am Never thought of crossing the line So I plead 'not guilty' of any wrong doing It was Oscar my mischievous friend Tends to run amok every once in a while This dude I'm always having to defend But I give him props he's about to confess To absolve me of any naughtiness The only one thing I could be guilty of Is fantasizing to the point of excess

Adorable one, Jack! I can't imagine you being shy... but that's cute. I'm a very shy girl compared to most, but I have my moments of spontaneity. : ) Anyway, I really like this one! Always, Laura

As a teen, I was extremely shy and self conscience! It wasn't until I had success as a graphic designer many years later that I finally came out of my shell! Now look at me!!! LOL Love, Jack xxx
