That's Just Me Poem by Abdul Malik Mandani

That's Just Me



Oh, you do not want to know my tale,
But since you insist, I guess I'll just tell,

Originally from mystical India - not Rome!
Some 30 years ago made the USA my home,

I revere Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, Krishna
But keep my faith in love, peace and karma,

I read Shakespeare, Longfellow, Poe, Keats,
Omar Khayyam, Frost, Tennyson and Yeats,

Besides poetry and movies, I love to love
Books, traveling and fair ladies in drove,

Sometimes I blow hot, sometimes cold
And venture out to buy stuffs already sold,

Balding, with a paunch, but I think young
There's not a passionate song I haven't sung,

Pensive, moody and mostly quiet
But when I talk, I usually am right,

Couldn't walk good with my bad knees
But I dance with butterflies and bees,

Purblind, yet I have seen places umpteen
I daydream a lot, you know what I mean?

Born in June, by nature I am sunny
And if I so wish, I can be quite funny,

But you wouldn't want to mess with me
I can be swift and lethal like Bruce Lee!

I am writing this jestfully but it's serious,
Ha now, don't get nosy or too curious!
