He Strolls, Limps and Flirts a Lot

by

Michael Auguste

He strolls, he limps and flirts a lot
This Michael Auguste that you know
If you ever want to see him
Hurry up, he's always on the go

Today he bought a walking stick
So much better, he likes the sound
A "cane" is for men like grandpa
And it helps Michael get around

I'm teasing about the flirting
But of the rest, it's very true
I'm sure he'd never flirt at all
With a lovely woman like you

Well, the stick looks kind of silly
He's so young it looks out of place
But whenever he takes a stroll
It actually does help his pace

Michael really isn't flirting
When at a woman he does gaze
After all, the man's an artist
And he can't help if his eyes glaze

To make sure he doesn't get punched
When gazing at women so fair
He tries to avoid men's hateful looks
And makes sure he's in his wheelchair

Okay, I think that's quite enough
I'm only kidding, it's a tease
I just thought that I'd pull your leg
So that you all would feel at ease

I mean, hey, I'm picking at me
Please, no offense to anyone
Just keeping things in perspective
Trying to have a bit of fun

I still have my sense of humor
And I'll admit it's in poor taste
But it's me that I'm laughing at
So in your judgement, don't show haste

Great poem. So common yet so wonderful.
