. I am man Only not too loudly Should you see me It is usually in passing That non-descript Unhandsome element Without which however Nothing is sure To work that well When things go wrong From a machine repair To a dirty war Somehow I’m always there Then it’s back on the wall Til the next urgent call If not in a box Covered with flags and flowers . |

"I" is a great man. Man are great because he was made first and shouldered great responsibilities. However he blamed Eve for the bite. a very powful and manly poem. enjoyed as always. |

When things go wrong From a machine repair To a dirty war Somehow I’m always there Then it’s back on the wall Til the next urgent call The ending was even more poignant for me because these lines brought to mind the very best of men... and how they do what needs to be done simply because someone has to... knowing there's no glory. Excellent work! |
