Beware Those Who Are Not

Beware those who are not, A little bit bias. Or a little bit pious. A little bit selfish, Or a little bit standoffish. A little bit sexist, Or a little bit racist. A Little bit forlorn, Or little bit stubborn. A little bit lazy, Or a little bit crazy. Beware those who are not, A bit of a risk taker, Or a Muck-raker. A bit of a snob, Or a hard case when on the job. A bit of a joker, Or a gambler. A bit of a blower of trumpets, Or a layer of red carpets. A bit of a liar, Or a Town Cryer. Beware those who are not a little bit, They will be hard to please, Whenever there is even a little breeze. Which makes it hard for them to care a jot, Every time they lose the plot. They will never cause just a little harm, If they decide to leave the farm And shoulder arms, Without any qualms. The next time you meet anyone who admits to being a little bit, Don't throw a fit, Just help them be a little less, And give them a god bless. You won't have to worry about them even throwing a little fit, As you take a little nip In honour of your new friendship, When you too admit to being a little bit, Of a misfit.

Dear David, I am a little bit/ and with every heartbeat/ I become more and more a misfit/ hoping one day to stand on my two feet! Haha! A delightful lesson my friend that has a lot to teach your readers! Much enjoyed!

Great to hear from you to Demetrios. You are very kind. I feel I had a little help from above with this poem. It was one I felt compelled to write at this time and place. God bless. Your friend Friend David in NZ

Thank you John. That poem has been at the back of my mind for a while as I felt it needed to be verbalized. I find it hard to get on with people who tell me I am not . . . . because it could be a sign that they may well be . . . The world would be less bright without poetry to get one thinking a little. Glad you stopped by John. Best regards David in NZ
