Slot me not, <br />To peg in fields... <br />Appeasing to your comfort, <br />With a zest to raise your zeal <br /> <br />Not me. <br />If I want to sneeze out loud! <br />I'll do it, <br />When that happens... <br />In a crowd. <br /> <br />I live not to be so addressed. <br />Within your limits. <br />To bring a sweetened peace to your nest. <br /> <br />Not me. <br />If I want to sneeze out loud! <br />I'll do it, <br />When that happens... <br />In a crowd. <br /> <br />Living with a meaning, <br />To have others pleased, <br />Makes that for me a nightmare... <br />Screamed out from my dreams. <br /> <br />Not me. <br />If I want to sneeze out loud! <br />I'll do it, <br />When that happens... <br />In a crowd. <br /> <br />You may wish, <br />To high profile. <br />Quick to grin... <br />Or give wide smiles. <br /> <br />But I... <br />Am not one to do charades. <br />Or sit pretending, <br />I'm living to be Grade A. <br /> <br />Not me. <br />If I want to sneeze out loud! <br />I'll do it, <br />When that happens... <br />In a crowd. <br /> <br />Slot me not, <br />To peg in fields... <br />Appeasing to your comfort, <br />With a zest to raise your zeal. <br /> <br />No not me. <br />If I want to sneeze out loud! <br />I'll do it, <br />When that happens... <br />In a crowd. <br /> <br />I've earned to do what I please. <br />And... <br />If I want to sneeze out loud! <br />I'll do it, <br />When that happens... <br />In a crowd.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
