The Prettiest Girls in the World


If I were to write my accomplishments down,
they wouldn't exactly fill pages.
I've never shown wisdom that's likely to be
renowned in the world through the ages.
Nevertheless, I stand with an air of
importance and dignity sure,
for to the prettiest girls in the world
I've an irresistible lure.

The prettiest girls in the world
both hang on my every word,
and laugh with delight at the jokes that I tell,
the ones even I find absurd!
To them I am strong, I'm a stone, unafraid.
There is nothing they cannot forgive.
They both think me great, and so great I must be
for their sakes, every day that I live.

So boast of your deeds 'till your face becomes blue;
you'll not make a groveler of me.
I don't feel at all inferior to you.
If you watch me a little you'll see,
that somehow I have earned the respect of the fair, and the pure look at me with a smile.
I am loved by the prettiest girls in the world,
so I should be alright for a while.
