The Upper Crust

A part of the upper crust of society I have never been Methinks “down to earth” more accurately Describes this old homosapien No airs, no talking big, no flamboyant flair Just little old simple me Now that word “simple” can be misleading I don't think I've ever been considered simple In terms of brain power But at the other end of the scale Certainly never classified myself a genius either Somewhere in the middle... an average joe This is my comfort zone In my teen years, I floundered around Wondering what life had in store for me Until I realized I had a flair for creativity And in particular “graphic design” I have never ever regretted my decision To head off in that direction In fact in my 80's I was still active With a show of hands... How many of you enjoyed the profession To the degree that you never wanted to retire Let's see, one, two, three... oh and another!
