I Looked and Found

I've never known another 
And suppose I never will.
I've wished one way and the other,
But my kind eludes me still...

I know that I sound crazy,
But I'm simply just unknown.
I'm a lot of things, but lazy's
Not an attribute I've shown...

Nope, I ponder and wander
To make myself known
To myself and others
And here's all it's shown...

My mind's a constant whirlpool;
My thoughts, a constant swirl.
I don't know if I'm some fool
In this contraption of a world...

I know how to be funny,
And I know how to be smart.
I've little care for money,
But know how to play the part...

These things that I've uncovered,
I did so with little thought.
Having no clue I'd discovered
Just what I had always sought...

The most important thing I've found
Is how to work the world.
And though the truth's profound-
I still can't seem to find a girl...
