the mild mannered maniac
sees himself a sage
juxtaposing there and here
upon the printed page
just like Johnny’s Nowhere Man
he knows not what to do
but scribble, type or drag his pen
to bring words out to you
he may not be an artist
or romantic balladeer
just a simple mild mannered maniac
with rhymes for you to hear
so please give him at least the chance
to woo you with his verse
he may not be the best of men
but he’s certainly not the worst.
