I'd choose a different name than...A Poem by Jack...I have been accussed of being everyone on this site I think at one time or the other and I have now been called a posuer, (more than one indentity on WC). Unfortunately I am only me, just Jack.I’d choose a different name than… Can you tell me who I’d be If like you say, I am not me I see myself most everyday With still the same face on display My picture on this site is real I have no secrets to conceal Even as the insults mount You’ll never find a closed account You think I sometimes go by Red Or Frieda, that is what you said John McFadyen, there’s a name Though I am not one and the same Rita, Angel, Icelandicblue You point the finger, say, “They’re you” So many people I could be But sad to say I’m only me I think you’ll find, I am a man Not Holly Mason, Carolann Noodlehead or Lily Mae Or any other name you say Keith or Sami, Thomas too And now there’s Dean, that’s something new Eglantine, oh yes Marie None of these fine folks are me Tammy, Kristin, Elisa L. Makes me wonder, what the hell All fine poets, I must say Veronica, and Girl Friday Que Sera Sera, Constance Payne Still you’ll find Jack is my name Angi, Astro, Rhythm and Blues They’re not me, perhaps they’re you Aurora, Ken or David Scott You say they’re me, I say they’re not Then there’s Baby Ricochet Still not me, you’ll hear me say I Have a Voice, Kimmer, Quill Keely Jane, now Doug or Jill Insanity, Boy of the Red Jacob's name I think you've said Though everyone you seem to name Are all my friends here just the same Robbie, Emma, Dhaye and Rose Add more names, my friend list grows So let me say in words so true I’m only me, I am not you And if I was (said with a grin) I’d choose a different name than… © 2013 Jack...Author's Note
