Tim Ryerson Poet Personification

Just Who Do You Think I Am

I was a very BAD chick-a-dee
so mom grounded me for life
Clipped my wings; now I can’t fly
(I buried my head in shame)

Can't keep both feet on the ground
but man, just watch me RUN
50-60 MPH top end speed
I can REALLY fly (well, ALMOST)

Still pack one hell of a punch
(It’s all in the legs you know)
Ruffle my feathers? Guess what I’ll do?
Kick your ASS til you lay a fat egg...

Monterey Sirak May 20, 2015 at 2:46 PM I love this one! Especially the first stanza...being grounded for life, that's bad. I got threatened with that a few times in my youth.
