If Your Birth Sign Is Virgo...

If Your Birth Sign Is Virgo...

A Poem by Bob B

Idealistic might describe you.

In what you do, you excel.

But if your idealism gets out of hand,

Bid accomplishments farewell.

 

If you are idle and unproductive,

You might not have any objection

To blaming all your laziness on

Your inability to achieve perfection.

 

You tend to be shy and not seek glory

And prefer to let others receive attention

While you work in the background, which gives

Your character an added dimension.

 

Though you respond to the needs of others,

Be aware of the adjuration

To always be on guard, for you

Are vulnerable to exploitation.

 

You make an excellent critic and want

To improve the world--to help and protect.

But you can also act the martyr

If things don't go the way you expect.

 

You find communication important

And can be talkative, or chatty.

But don't be overcritical

Or fussy, or you'll start to sound catty.

 

You're a practical person and you're

Inclined to move with a measured pace.

Not to attempt to perfect whatever

Skills you have would be a disgrace.

 

Routine is not a problem for you.

If your efforts are justified,

You can endure endless details

And complete your tasks with marvelous pride.

 

Health conscious also describes you.

Though sometimes you can worry a lot,

You're NOT easily discouraged, and so

Give your priorities all that you've got.

 

You're always busy and occupied

With projects, but don't go overboard.

For you, things of a practical

And helpful nature strike a chord.

 

Your analytical skills are amazing.

So is your love for books and learning.

Irresponsibility

And sloppiness can be concerning.

 

You'd be great in the medical field,

In social work, or in teaching.

Stick with the "real world"

And your efforts will be far-reaching.
