I am not a King, like Henry, But I've princes and princesses. I am not a Neruda, But I'm read. I am not a Lewis, Yet others laugh with me. I am not a Palmer, Though I've aced a few. I am no Lennon, However, I'm asked to sing. I am far from being a Casanova, And yet, I'm not alone. I am no Graham, Though the spirit moves me. I am no Saarinen, But my children sleep in beds I made. Don't call me an Einstein Because I've understood. I am not a Child, But you are welcome at my table. I am none but myself. If they spoke, They'd envy me.

If They Spoke
I am not a King, like Henry, But I've princes and princesses. I am not a Neruda, But I'm read. I am not a Lewis, Yet others laugh with me. I am not a Palmer, Though I've aced a few. I am no Lennon, However, I'm asked to sing. I am far from being a Casanova, And yet, I'm not alone. I am no Graham, Though the spirit moves me. I am no Saarinen, But my children sleep in beds I made. Don't call me an Einstein Because I've understood. I am not a Child, But you are welcome at my table. I am none but myself. If they spoke, They'd envy me.
