A PERSON LIKE ME
If you were a person like me, capable no doubt
Of the things that I am capable of,
You would know I speak softly and never do shout,
And I never envy another, or scoff.
You would note that I'm angry and strangely remote,
That I don't respond very well to love;
That I'm ever changing my shirt, my jumper, and coat,
And I play the Eagle as well as the Dove;
That you can't pin me down, for I am your friend and your foe
But, always a man of the truth,
And I'll take you wherever you ask me to go,
