You call me a ratbag well that suits me fine <br />What you think of me is your business my business is mine <br />Say what you wish of me but of me don't lie <br />Mud sticks are words by one far wiser than I. <br /> <br />People like you I meet with every day <br />On every subject they have plenty to say <br />Yet by their waffle one comes to realize <br />That empty vessels do make the most noise. <br /> <br />To one's own self one can only be true <br />Every day from living we learn something new <br />No two think in the same way in any one Town <br />Though everyone crave their moment of renown. <br /> <br />We look at life in a different way <br />And to you one thing I only can say <br />Words can be harmful you should feel aware <br />That damage done by words is hard to repair. <br /> <br />Say what you like of me but stick to the truth <br />Words can be hurtful when used without ruth, <br />You call me a ratbag well that seems okay <br />As such things are said about me every day.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/well-that-seems-okay/
