A Multitude of Michaels

Inhabited by check and counterfoil,
my head is full of squatters – what a mob!
One Michael’s eager for his daily toil: 
another Michael can’t abide his job.

There’s one of me who’s frugal, prudent, wise,
and one you wouldn’t trust to walk the dog:
one version tries it on with petty lies,
while one’s as stable as a fallen log.

One talks like Robin Williams on a high,
but one’s as muted as a manatee:
so how can I my inner self descry?
Establish which, of all of them, is me?
