Introductions

I will not introduce myself.

I will not ask "How do?"

I will not wave, I will not bow,

Or shake a hand with you.

For I am not polite, my friend;

I have no social grace.

Like you, I have no manners,

And I never learned my place.

Instead I'll write a poem

And I'll put myself in verse,

And if you like the sound of me,

Well, THEN we might converse.

So read a line or two of me,

Or don't, if it's a chore,

But since you've read fifteen of me

I bet you'll read one more.
