You shouldn’t take
my word for it
I could be fake
and full of shit
Though to be fair
I am aware
that you could too

Great wee poem my friend 😁
Is it perhaps missing a ‘be’ in the last line?
Either way it’s fab! 👍🖤

Thank you very much! Nay, not missing a ‘be.’ It is purposely implied from the ‘be’ above. 😁

Fun poem. Could also be a politician of most any stripe.
