Who Am I - 01/04/13

Post by Terry » Tue Mar 19, 2013 4:17 pm

Just a bit late (about two weeks) - not sure if it fits the promps anyway


WHO AM I
Just who am I you may well ask?
Who hides behind this facial mask?
Is there a bloke you cannot see,
quite different but looks like me?

Which one of me can you see now?
Do I appear to change somehow?
Perhaps I’m one, yet seem like two,
am I the bloke you thought you knew?

I’m two in one or maybe three,
But who is who and which ones me?
I’m always here but seldom seen,
I’m just a bloke who might have been.

Good work Terry. :)

Now after our little yarning at the Tamworth camp, I can safely say that with Terry Piggott, what you see is what you get. ;) ;) :)

I like that Terry - something a bit different from the Terry we know! ;)

I'm with Neville, what you see is what you get - a gentleman.... :)

Totally agee - I had the pleasure of speaking with Terry the other night face to face courtesy of.skype and Terry you are never to late Mate - nothing here is set in concrete, or if it is it's a pretty weak mix :lol: :lol:

I enjoyed the conundrum your poem poses. People always think sheep look the same as well :lol: :lol: but most of us are capable of taking on chamelean characteristics at times. Laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside as it were. Does any one ever let the real person shine through or are we all guilty of wearing masks on occasions.

A good write Terry - I enjoyed the read.

Cheers

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Hi Heather, (and thanks)
Yes a bit different from my usual, but occasionally that other me pops out and writes something,
but don't tell anybody.

Cheers Terry

Hi Maureen,

I think most of us only show what we want to be seen and a part of us is kept hidden from most people, most of the time. (mostly)

I always reckon I'm one person when I'm home and change into another bloke when I go bush.

The possibilities are endless aren't they.

Hey there's a topic for the future "The Other Me" what do you reckon.

Cheers Terry

G/day Bob,
Yes that's about right mate, although I suspect there's a side of most of us that's rarely seen.
