my hero

when the time requires
that a super person be near
I always wiggle and squirm
and recoil in fear
I know I am not the man
that they will want to call
because the world needs
real heros to save the day
and I just do not have the nerve
or the will
so if it's a hero you want
call someone else
and send me the bill

  1. Something like calling a plumber because you haven't got the right tools. Right! I can relate to that. Heroes are those who do not consider the consequences. I am a lousy plumber, just send me the bill too.

  2. I think this is understated you probably are a hero and do not even know it! Good post!

  6. It's hard work being a hero, or so I'm told. I think it's over-rated myself. I'd rather hire one than be one!

  8. The poem made me smile. But I feel that consciously or unconsciously we do become heroes atleast a couple of times in our lives; a kind word, a kind gesture to someone, there, you are a hero!!!

  10. Ariel..I agree that sometimes we are heroes without knowing it. I hope I have been to someone. Greta is right, I am a hero to my dogs.
    I like to believe that when they came to live with me it was like coming to dog heaven.

    Greta...yes you are right. maybe I need a new poem....this little doggie went to market.. thos little went to Grizz's home..etc.

  12. Hi Old Grizz - aah, but the one who calls for help is the one with humility.. and in some circumstances calling for help is the most superhero like thing to do! Made me smile..jae
