Over the years I've been told that I looked like dozens of people. Bruce Springsteen, Billy Martin (NY Yankees ex-manager), Brad Paisley (Country singer), Mario (lol) and Horshack (Welcome Back Kotter- (lol). Just to mention a few.

People say I kind of look like Jim He is heavy and I am kind of slim So, no-no, no-no... No-no, no-no I don't look like him People say I kind of look like Matt I've put on weight but I'm not that fat So, no-no, no-no No-no, no-no I don't look like that People say I kind of look like Keith Maybe a little, but he's got no teeth People say I kind of look like Lou I beg to differ; I kind of think he looks like you People say I kind of look like Clay If his eyes were brown, then he just may So, no-no, no-no No-no, no-no I don't look that way People say I kind of look like Jack Maybe years ago, but that was a while back People say I kind of look like Lance Not a chance, best take another glance People say I kind of look like Joy Yeah, I might if she was a boy So, no-no, no-no No-no, no-no... I don't look that coy People say I kind of look like (Paisley)- Brad If I had his money, boy I sure be glad So, no-no, no-no No-no, no-no But I wish I had People say my son kind of looks like he I don't see it, I kind of disagree So, no-no, no-no No-no, no-no He kind of looks like, looks like me

Well by that picture you have on here, I see you like Pacino in his younger year. You share that fine Italian look, (in that picture that you took) Fun poem Charles. Enjoyed.

You look like a character from Soup Creek, menacing with a glint in your eye, a gentle man and an upholder of the law, you'd make a fine deputy Charlie. Tom

I doubt if there are two people who like you unless you have a twin.

What a great last verse, Charlie. You're definitely not a Horshack clone.

You're still better looking than Horshack!

Hi Jenna, years ago back in my late teens my hair so curly and it went in every direction...so that's when I resembled "Horshack" of course I was better looking though (lol) Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Hugs
