Sanguine
I am a sanguine,
She calls me penguin.
I am not a flirt
I am not a bird
But I eat sardine.
I am a sanguine,
So I don't need aspirin
Because I smile
And worry for a while
I can't have mi-grin.
I am a sanguine,
I can't play the violin.
That is not the end of me,
If you can do the drumming,
I will dance to the tambourine.
I am a sanguine,
I talk like a machine.
If you do not listen well,
You will think I speak Mandarin
I am a sanguine,
I have read about Oleifins
Somethings about paraffin.
As playful as I am,
I do not read with caffeine.
I am a sanguine,
I drill like machine
I don't need enhancement
Because I will take you to the firmament,
If you want to prove me wrong
You need to feel my serpentine.
