ME A POET

Me a poet, I once said.
With my words I'll knock'em dead!
Or maybe a song writer, that would be neat,
People dancing to my words and the beat.
Maybe I'll just write a book.
A novel, a portfolio, teach people how to cook.
But no, really I'm just dreaming.
Building fantacies and scheaming.
This is all my dreamland I write for myself,
Poems, songs, and stories piled upon my shelf.
I'll just write down all my fantacies, imagined in my head.
Yes, me a poet, I once said.
