Yours Truly
I was born on March 1st 1953.
I was the only male newborn in that nursery.
I also have four younger sisters in my family.
An older or younger brother wasn't in the cards for me.
From my very moment of birth women have greatly influenced me,
be they mother, lover, sibling, friend or family.
I'm a straight shootin male
and I've never been in jail
and I enjoy speaking and writing in poetic verse
everything from my grocery shopping list to how my life is a living curse.
In addition to writing and speaking in rhyme
I dress in black all the time
but that shouldn't reflect upon my personality.
I can be quite the social butterfly
if such a lifestyle were chosen by I
but for the most part I live a life very solitary.
I have a thirst for knowledge
but spent very little time in college.
Had I stuck it out though I'd have many a degree
in the areas of science, nature & wildlife as well as human psychology.
The origins of the universe also fascinates me.
It is the ultimate unsolved case. An ongoing mystery.
Nothing ever gets to me
cept the injustices of humanity
and also of course personal tragedy.
Great wilderness survival skills are possessed by I.
Drop me naked in the middle of nowhere and I'll still survive.
In fact, that's how I plan to retire.
I have little value for money.
I only use it to live in society,
but my last days will be spent deep in the woods by my campfire.
What else can I say about yours truly?
I'm open for questions so please feel free.
