Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

If I Was As Clever As I Think I Am

If I was half as clever as I think I am
People would whisper about my whimsical wily ways.
Warlocks would warn witches about my wit.
We would be reading about me in a World Book.

If I was as humorous as I think I am
Beavers would hunch over my Hungarian hash
Begging me to bring my brilliancy into their burrows.
They would be genuflecting and paying me homage.

If I was as wise as I think I am
I would keep this to myself
So I could keep my friends who would make fun of me
If they read this poem.

L Milton Hankins November 2, 2021 at 12:07 PM I think you are being overly humble, my dear friend. You are extremely clever, humorous, and wise...definitely...period, and if you point out who is making fun of you, I will take care of them in a flash!!! I have some influence from up there...my momma's up there! Caren Krutsinger November 3, 2021 at 8:55 AM So is MY MAMA!
