The Original Mr Shy Guy

Used to be a shy and retiring type Back then but this is now Like a Super Hero I burst onto the scene To share my extensive knowhow People have never been able to stump me I'm a master at solving stuff Like Einstein's theory of relativity equation That's easy, that really ain't tough If I seriously decide to turn on the charm Ladies will have a real hard time Trying to resist, they'll be driven to infidelity Not a problem, that's just fine Before becoming this irresistible charmer I was timid, retiring, and shy If you can believe that wee tidbit my friends Got some swampland you'd might like to buy What's that you say, you think I'm joking Can't imagine me retiring and shy Just ask my Mom when you meet her in Heaven I was the original Mr. Shy Guy Used to be a shy and retiring type Back then but this is now Like a Super Hero I burst onto the scene To share my extensive knowhow (Mr. Tongue-in-cheek)

Its funny how life unfolds Jack, looking back, many a time, those that were shy when young, find that they have a tongue, as time goes by they are no longer shy. Yet the opposite can occur, A rowdy, loud person in their tender years, can develop fears, and withdraw from the madding crowd, sighting that they have no need to be heard aloud. I like you just the way you are, and I like your poem ! Cheers from Wen

There is some truth to what I write! I was not an outgoing youth! You are amazing the way you have of recognizing someone for who they really are! Bang on my Aussie lassie... of course this is a generalization!!! Thank you dear Wendy I think we have made an amazing connection... love from me in Canada to you in Aussieland xox
