I may not be Thomas Hardy,
my mental state is never sturdy.

I may not be Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
wish I had the money to live at a bordello.

I never have had enough cash.
I may not be Edgar Allan Poe,
but I'm a poet don't you know.

but at least I'm not a congressman.

but I do love standing in the rain,

but at least I'm not a ship man.

my skills are still up for debates.
All their poems would set you free,
but now their dead, so its up to me.
