This Is Who I Am

What best describes my character? Well that's a question and a half. I'm handsome, tall, and brilliant, and I know how to make folks laugh. I really have a great physique. I don't make no mistakes. Everyone looks up to me. Why not for goodness sakes? I'm about as good as a guy can be, of that there is no doubt. I've been brave, clean, and reverent, ever since I was a scout! I'm absolutely void of flaws. I never take no blame, 'cause nothin' ever is my fault, that's why I'm held in high acclaim. Well, all that stuff's a bunch of bull! I lied to get your attention! The thing I feel is my best trait, I really haven't mentioned. The trait that I'm most proud of, that I rely on every day, is my Cautious Optimism. Whatever I am faced with, things will be O.K. Whenever there's a crisis, I try to keep a level head. I don't get pessimistic or depressed. I stay Cautiously Optimistic instead! Contest: Love Me Why? written by: Ralph Taylor

THIS was AWESOME. I thought maybe you'd burst out with a chorus: "It's hard to be humble." Love that song. YOu will probably find my entry was more in the immodest category! Congratulations, Ralph.

Dear, dear Ralph. There are so many things about you that are special. Your integrity and sense of humor have always impressed me. Now, come on and admit that you have much more to offer than "Cautious Optimism." (Although I tend to be the same way) Enjoyed the humor in this poem! Hope you are having a great week. Love, Carolyn
