I’m somebody! Who are you?
Are you somebody too?
Then there’s a pair of us – do tell!
We must advertise – you know!
How dreary to be nobody!
More worthless than a frog
Who without a name - croaks all day
To be a bump on a log!
I’m somebody! Who are you?
Are you somebody too?
Then there’s a pair of us – do tell!
We must advertise – you know!
How dreary to be nobody!
More worthless than a frog
Who without a name - croaks all day
To be a bump on a log!

Poem: I’m Nobody
I took the road less traveled
to hear if a falling tree
with no one around
aside from me
(yours truly)
does make a sound
but lost my way
in the bewilderness
veered far astray
and for the life of me
couldn't see
the forest for the trees
but if I could
it would feel so good
not a bump on a log nor lump on a stump
as then I'd be out of the woods
Sometimes I think; sometimes, I do not
Sometimes I can’t remember what I forgot,
Sometimes I wonder whether, or not
Sometimes it is merely an after-thought.
Sometimes I am either coming or going
Sometimes I am receiving or bestowing,
Sometimes I am lost in a mental fog
Sometimes I feel like a bump on a log.
Sometimes doesn’t mean always, you know
Sometimes I merely go with the flow.

The tortoise sits like a bump on a log
The people think his mind's in a fog.
But really, he's seen more than you think.
Enough to make you shock and rethink
He's seen battles of war,
Invasion and more.
He's got a hundred years more
Then you have been born.
Seen presidents and news,
Happy times and blue,
Styles and songs,
Rights and their wrongs.
But now he sits in a cage
Passing his days
As children stare in awe,
He waits for the call.
