Notes About The Poem

I hope I didn't miss too many but if I did you are also in my thoughts. Keep up the great work my dear friends!

I Do Have the Balls

I wish I had the balls to tell them how I really felt
Hey, wait a minute...I do, I'm a man, it's what I've been dealt 
So I'll tell all of you poets... and poetesses too 
Something I've been wanting to tell... all of you 
I can't name you all... but I will try my best 
So to the one's that I mention... will you please tell the rest
 
To Line and Susan and Harry and Eve 
To Demetrios and Victor, and to Robert and Steve 
To Brandy and Andrea and to Winged warrior and Lyric man 
To Broken and Sunshine and to Arturo and Jan 
To Bob and to Richard to Charlie and Joe 
To Faraz and to Vijay and to Darlene and to Mo 
To Curtis and Barry To Greg and to Mick 
To Lindsay and Lindsey and to Dixie and Rick 
To Teppo and Gershon and to Tom and Pandita 
To Robert and Roy and to Cheryl and Anita 
To Nette and Sandra and to Connie and Kim 
To Wayne and to William and to Timothy and to Tim 
To Carol and Carole and to Caren and to Karin 
To Dave and to David and to Barry and to Darren 
To Freddie and John and to Heidi and Tania 
To Artsie and Jack and to Viv and Maria
 
So since I have the balls to tell you all how I felt 
And because I have the balls in which I've been dealt 
I'll tell you all just what it is.... about you I hate
Well, hey there is nothing...because I think... you're all great!
