This Is Who I Am
What best describes my character?
Well that's a question and a half.
I'm handsome, tall, and brilliant,
and I know how to make folks laugh.
I really have a great physique.
I don't make no mistakes.
Everyone looks up to me.
Why not for goodness sakes?
I'm about as good as a guy can be,
of that there is no doubt.
I've been brave, clean, and reverent,
ever since I was a scout!
I'm absolutely void of flaws.
I never take no blame,
'cause nothin' ever is my fault,
that's why I'm held in high acclaim.
Well, all that stuff's a bunch of bull!
I lied to get your attention!
The thing I feel is my best trait,
I really haven't mentioned.
The trait that I'm most proud of,
that I rely on every day,
is my Cautious Optimism.
Whatever I am faced with, things will be O.K.
Whenever there's a crisis,
I try to keep a level head.
I don't get pessimistic or depressed.
I stay Cautiously Optimistic instead!
