Sold My Soul

I’m a clever guy, all being told 
Greying nicely, not growing old 
Have a good heart, stone cold 
Speak my own truth, little bold 

Really bad attitude, I never fold
Worth my weight, in fools gold 
Your credit card, I’ll always hold 
What’s that I hear, a cent, Sold!

Paean on poets, for myself 
Not for Margaritas contest

Very clever Sir Love your honesty And your ability to admit to your human flaws and faults Take that all day every day Over false bravado lies and posturing

Mostly to speak the truth and from ones heart is what I gather

Thanks Christopher, I am an just a bloke, with everyday human flaws, like everyone else, I could well be worse than some, but I really don’t care, that’s exactly what I write about in my poems, cheers David
