An Image In Jeopardy

Man's Image In Jeopardy

I try to and most men do
The very best they can
But I have failed in every detail
Trying to be a perfect man

I want to be the man you see
When you look up to your ideal
So flatter me up with just enought
Personality to make it seem real

Please not too much but just a touch
Of what you're doing to me
Don't make me what I'm really not
When it comes to plain ole reality

I'm a simple guy whose wondering why
You bothered to come my way
Perhaps looking a man for a one night stand
And not for a permanent place to stay

By Charles A. Cowan-May 2000
