Who never blush or tattle tale on who did what with who!

Has someone ever told you what you didn’t want to know?
(Its totally embarrassing and must be said just so)
About the lipstick on your teeth, or the zipper that was slipping?
Did the THANK YOU through clenched teeth resemble velcro ripping?

Having fallen down in public, why do we. insist
in looking round, in hopes of finding no one noticed it?
Yet break a bone, were on the phone, writhing loud in pain.
Calling all who saw us fall; for our insurance claim.

Compete and win? Now theres a sin we heartily deny.
With lowered nose, embedded toe, and sad complacent sighs.
Its rude to win, and to begin, we must apologize.
Losers get the sympathy. Soon winners realize;
That were the injured party, which comes as no surprise.
Thats the cost; the best man lost; Next time, compromise.

How swiftly we dodge compliments, like bullets from a gun!
Whenever were accused of being better than someone.
But speak ill of a friend of ours, - now theres an education!
Gossips always hearty stuff to poke at reputations!

We carry mace and apps to trace our whereabouts to all;
While hiding out with nature to escape society’s call!
We claim to love our privacy; and dont take passwords lightly!
Without a clue of who were playing with on Facebook nightly.

Among all of Gods creatures, we live more from the heart;
Than any other species; and that sets us apart.
At least a humans mind can change if arguments are smart.

But having tried to reason with a mountain lions plan,
I think you may conclude despite the foolishness at hand;
That in the end mans best friend may, after all, be man!

I was wild boisterous when I was a kid,
due to the fact that the older brother close
to my own age had some failings, and I stuck
up for him.
embarrassed, not me, that was not a thing.
After all was said and done I only kept my mantra
do not mess with my brother, or you mess with me.
I was dope, I was so cool. I was off the cuff, and believe
me I just did not ever care.
but sure I was always always embarrassed.
still am. when I finally went to college I had to give this speech about the mercantile way the US spends to protect its soybean crop each year. I completely forgot
the speech type written and in my back pocket. I
stood there with nothing to say, and I said, "I have nothing to say", and then I dropped onto the floor and did fifty push ups, and when I came back up I said,
"who here can give me fifty", I shouted. Do it now,
I crowed, "you too", I shouted to the teacher, do it now.
And I walked down the rows of desks telling each kid how they did them wrong, "you dregs, my oh my,
worthless, and so hostile, you need to be anointed by
some make shift exercise, and all for nothing, get on your feet", I shouted out.
"Who eats soybeans here, raise your hand" nobody did.
"Soybeans are like affidavits that can and will be used against you in the court of law", I shouted out.
"What is another name for soy", I asked. Nobody said anything. So not knowing myself I belted out, "So has anybody here eaten food from McDonald/'/s recently", some kid in the back room raised his hand.
"how much did you pay", a dollar, he said.

"that/'/s a lot of money, for you, isn/'/t that right", kind of he said.

Then, just then, I realized I had my speech in my back pocket. I handed it to my teacher.
We produce more than any country, at the time I delivered my speech it was over ninety million metric tons, making the US, number one in soybean production, U know, I handed the speech to the teacher.
I was kind of embarrassed but I think I made a point.

Peace!
