The true of the true

Men have only two small faults
Over touch and under much
Everything else they do.
Is not necessarily true.

It's said sometimes their insane
And that is the over touch.
The good ones are far and few.
Is not necessarily true.

They have their lucid moments
When they are in under much
That these moments are a clue
Is not necessarily true

And that these moments can change
When not over enamored
Or over hammer, this too
Is not necessarily true

They can profess silent wise
A very strange disguise
And this they over do, yet
Is not necessarily true

They seem a multi ego
And oft play the confidence game
A game with narrow aim, but
Is not necessarily true

They act lawyers or tailors
They express multi dockets
Like garments without pockets but
Is not necessarily true.

For the true of the true,
Is strictly up to you.

My brain is twisted
and my tongue is dead
and the doc said
ten days in bed
but this is
not necessarily true.

But it is true that I enjoyed reading this poem.
