Not Like You

I would never stoop myself to do the things you do. Nor drop down in the gutter swimming in that toxic stew. I hold myself to higher standards, not like some I know. And when I start MY rumors I know when it’s time to go. We have naught in common though your common label fits. You’re average in every way, with no distinguished bits. And I am glad my standards hold me up so tried and true. I’m shocked when I discover that I’m rather worse than you.
