I am not a writer
But I have a writer's hands
I am not religous
But I'm sure he understands.

I am not a painter
But I can feel a painter's pain
I get a little bit mad sometimes
But is anyone really completely sane?


I am not a fireman
But I can put out a fire
I'm not a politician
But I can still conspire.

I'm not an astrologer
but I can still try to decipher
Some meaning from the sky,
I am not a thinker
But I can ask a question
'Why?'

You see, the thing I am
Is something
That no-one else can ever be
I am me
I
Am
Me...

Wasn't there an old show, series that used to come on, that Sean Connery played a man named Simon with a halo? he was like the first James Bond?

Errm yeah. I think it was Simon Templar 'The Saint'. I'm sure it was Roger Moore- I might be wrong.

You're right, it was Roger Moore who played Simon Templar in The Saint.

Enjoyed your description of who you are.

This is lovely.

I like your approach here--sometimes we have to figure out who and what we are not to understand who we are and what is possible.

Nicely done! Warm welcome, simon.
