Show Off

In the morning, sipping coffee,
Thoughts assail my brain.
Is my blog a bit show-offy,
Making me look vain?

Will some readers scoff and think,
“She thinks that she’s all that!”
And might they find my words in ink
Have fallen oh, so flat?

But if we feel that we possess
A talent, knack, or calling,
Must we fear that to express
That skill is rather galling?

I don’t think so – we must choose
To proudly strut our stuff,
And worry not ‘bout bad reviews;
Acknowledgement’s enough.

I can’t do math or swim or ski;
No mountains will I climb.
My flaws add up, but yes-siree,
I know that I can rhyme!
