Pushing the Envelope

Pushing the envelope is what I do.
Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew,
  but that's how I am and how I roll.
I say what I say with my all my heart and soul.

I admire someone who can bite their tongue,
  but if I did that
  my tongue would surely belong to a cat!

If I were a lawyer I'd speak for you
  if you were weak and small,
  but I'm a poet and so I'll say,
  "Geezzz, I write what I pleezzz."

I like to push and talk like I did in my youth.
Never mind what they'll say.
Just tell the truth.

Well, I'm glad you understand, Ed. I admit I am "opinionated". Ha!
