Never Judge by the Cover

things aren't always as they seem

Never judge by the Cover

I pat my head and rub my belly

my ears are big and my feet are smelly

got warts on my nose and knobby knees

I belch a lot and I cut the cheese

but I can recite verbatum war and peace

tell you where to find Jason's golden fleece

calculate the distance to the Martian moons

and play Tchaikovsky on wooden spoons

got two left feet and an artificial eye

in 10 seconds flat I can devour a pie

my butt is so fat I take up two seats

I eat powdered sugar on pickled beets

but I can do a marathon all 26 miles

my comedy routine will bring you smiles

my fastball has been clocked at 95

I will do anything to keep you alive

sometimes the words just will not come

believe me it's not because I am dumb

I have this disorder that freezes my brain

and sometimes I walk with a wooden cain

but play for me a song on your magic box

a Mozart minuette or one that rocks

I will play it back yes anything you want

sometimes I'm referred to as a savant

so my theme here is to take a deeper look

just cause I look like I come from a comic book

and I may never be a movie stars lover

but please don't ever judge me by the cover

David,

This was a funny piece, but all so true. Too many people judge others from the outside without ever looking on the inside. Sometimes the inside is the best part. So Im here to tell you David, I have judged you from the inside out, and you are a wonderful person with the biggest heart ever.

What a wonderfully humorous and so very true poem. Loved it as always
