I Am Letter S

I    AM    LETTER    “S”


Sneaky, sarcastic, selfish, slipshod shirker,
Stumbler, smart-ass, scrounger, sloppy worker
Shiftless sycophant, stingy swine:
These qualities are what I want to avoid  being mine .

Sincere, supportive, sharing , schooled,
Stable, selfless ,  steady, steely-eyed,
Smart, smiling, sweet-smelling, suave
These qualities I would like to  have

I suppose we are all a work in progress, but that first stanza does not describe you at all!! ....I think that second list is more the "You" we know!!! :)
