Keep It Real

a rhyming ditty to have a little fun with this graphic

You say I insulted your ego

Your feelings have been singed?

Hold it together, will ya?

No need to become unhinged!

 

Sure I try to be politically correct

Over and over I’ve read life’s rules

But you know I’m not a naïve sweet one

And my mama didn’t raise no fools!

 

Mind you, I don’t pretend to be an angel

But I’m not usually classified a b***h

Still, anything less than the naked truth

Will make my stomach twitch!

 

Aspersions are so easy to find

Best not to look for them if you ask me

Searching for the bad in people

Well, to me that’s just bourgeoisie!

 

To show you what a stand up "guy" I am

I’m willing to cut you a deal

I’ll only give you enough rope to hang yourself

If you’re not willing to keep it real!

A bit of wit and sarcasm from you. The poem matches the graphic splendidly. Life isn't all rainbows and unicorns.
