A Man Among Men

Well, well, well, lookey you here See me smiling from ear to ear What could it be that's making me grin Do you think I might be into the gin Don't touch the stuff, it makes me silly Already silly, my mind's willy-nilly Sometimes things that come out of my mouth Surprise even me and surely my spouse But as I have reached these golden years At people's opinion of me, I just sneer Everyone should be just who they are No matter how silly, or extreme or bizarre I pride myself being my own man A far cry from when my dear life began Extremely happy with the way things turned out Over the moon, of that there's no doubt Once had a complex way back when But now I'm a real man among men Well, well, well, looky you here See me smiling from ear to ear

Hope this didn't come across as egotistical! Have a great day Milton!
