Judy Martin: This Just About Sums Me up!

I absolutely loved this poem by Judy Martin of http://edwinasepisodes.com/about/this-just-about-sums-me-up/comment-page-1/#comment-20297

It reminds me of the funny poems of Pam Ayres http://www.pamayres.com/index.php/category/poems/

This Just About Sums Me Up!

Oh how I wish I was graceful

and not a disaster on wheels

I trip over every obstacle

And my shoes have got broken off heels

I try so hard to be upright

But always fall flat on my face

My body is covered in bruises

From where I have fallen from grace

I long to be elegant and classy

But that is just not to be

Whilst others are sipping their cocktails

I’m knocking over my tea.

Life for me would be perfect

If only I was more chic

Instead of awkward and bumbling

And coming across as a freak

Oh how I wish I was graceful

But life is not very fair

So I’ll carry on being clumsy

And pretending that I just don’t care!
