I like being liked

I like being liked…


 


My new job has now become quite easy,


Working it I basically no longer feel queasy,


But dealing with any boss I always do without any ease,


Just once I would like to hear her, me, tease,


She might then have a sense of humor,


At least from what I hear that is the rumor…


 


Perhaps if I stop trying so hard,


Let up and be myself, stop trying to be a card,


Then things will work out better,


Then I won’t have to be for myself a trend setter…


 


Being liked has always been my goal,


It’s not easy of myself to extol,


In fact it is downright brazen,


Fortunately I do not have to stay in the office,


I am out on the road most of the time,


Taking what amounts to a leisurely stroll…

For this and so many others of your writes, EM, I must say: there really is no one like you!

Inside us all is a wish to be liked, but you boldly and unashamedly come right out and say it... I think that's just so cool!

From you I always get truth... it gets no better than that. katy xox.

I like to take those leisurely strolls too Ed and sometimes being joined by my dog or a neighborhood dog. Sometimes a cat will come along.

Just be yourself Ed, she will come round, don't we all like to be liked for one reason or another.

Ed...and what is there not to like about you? You are caring, sensitive and dogs like you as well...that is one of the surest signs of a likable person. When a dog likes you...then you have to be all right.
