Today’s poem

TO BE OR NOT TO BE?

I’d love to be a genius, As clever as can be. A gifted brilliant brainbox In a top academy. I want to be an egghead, A highbrow mastermind, But I think I’m only average, The normal standard kind. What fun to have the answers To everything I’m asked, With awe-inspiring knowledge To leave them all aghast. I’d love to be an expert On everything I see, But when I come to think of it I’m not quite sure that’s me! Maybe people who are laid back Have got the ideal plan, Perhaps it’s best to be like that — Do you know, I think I am! Mrs Margaret A. Mattinson, Cawood, N. Yorks.
