Not Yer Fancy High Falutin' Writer

I write about everyday happenings That's my style and I'm sticking with it I'm not yer fancy, highfalutin' writer Down to earth stuff is what I emit I sometimes get naughty, God forbid Try to keep it down to a minimum A fine old gentleman from way up north An honourable upstanding citizen Have you had enough, are you feeling ill So sorry, but I really must emote I'm a Leo you know so don't blame me Not responsible if sometimes I gloat A handsome devil, I'll give you that Learned to live with girlie's attention Quite like it, makes me feel quite frisky And relieves my sexual tension So that's me, I'm just an ordinary fellow Not yer fancy, highfalutin' writer Stick to the basics, just ordinary stuff Known as a lover not as a fighter

A true Leo through and through! It amazes me how you can write just about anything on any subject. Always, Laura

Self-portrait of one of the best, I'd say. Here's to you, Jack! Take good care, Gershon

Real life stuff with a bit of jest, I'm with you Jack, I think that's the best. I'm not clever to write descriptive prose, admire the ones that can. But l like to read it once and understand. These masterpieces go over my head I'd rather read something funny instead. Loved your poem handsome man.
