That other guy inside of me,

No, not that one, the other me, see

He has all the smarts in this our relationship,

I can deal with him but only to a tolerable degree…

He can pass for me, but I am better lookin’,

Though he is better at fish hookin’,

And that other one is better at cookin’,

How many alter ego’s do we have,

Just keeping’ track as I do the book keepin‘…

How long must I with them suffer,

One is an old duffer, while I remain tougher,

The fisherman in our midst likes the puffer,

Me I just want to be left alone to be a better snuffer…
