Facts You Should Believe

A gray haired scraggly looking fellow is all you can see But I am not what you think I am when looking at me You cannot look into the thoughts of my mind Like you I too have a soul and I too can be kind. A young person in life you have some way to go And little of others you hardly would know You seem to dismiss me as a crabbedy old man But I too can be judgemental believe me I can. I'm too old for playing mind games those days with me long gone I feel happy enough just to be living on Just one more mere mortal who was born to die None do live forever the facts never lie. The stuff that I write I cannot hope to sell I'm just one more ageing poetaster who pens doggerel I am not what you think I am for looks can deceive And that too is a fact and facts you should believe.
