I hear you are on the board they say
I say I am conscious of being something of a disappointment
It’s meant to be funny and to be dismissed as an absurdity
hahaha have some more wine
I’ve said it out loud just in case they have started to whisper
but I must be careful
having introduced the idea which may not have otherwise crossed
their minds
of failing to live up to my promise
I had better pull something out of a hat now
fairly quick smart if I want to impress
Expectations of others of the seemingly confident, so appeals to my eremite spirit, oh, I know those feelings, and I need a glass too!
ReplyDeleteknow the feeling too
