Save

This verse was written "tongue in cheek." It is an answer to all those questioners who try to make us look like fools by asking the silly question "who are you?" Anyone who has seen the movie "Anger Management" knows how effectively Jack Nicholson used it against Adam Sandler. Well, we all could use a good "come back," couldn't we? Here's mine:
Who Am I? I am your average Substandard mortal Who is rarely Overworked Always overpaid, Backstabbed too often And envied? Well, Never. I am devoid of grace Inspired by liquor Quick to find fault Slow to give praise And too tired to Improve. I’m sometimes bewitched Occasionally bothered Often bewildered but Typically confused. When the world sings I sulk; When others run I walk; And when I should just shut up I talk. I am confused about The future Cannot make sense of The past My present is scary My ass is unhairy But I’ll stop and Sit on it fast. By the way … Who wants to know?
