TRUE EXPRESSIONS

 

"He's a mighty fine fellow"

We hear most every day

"Honest kind and thoughtfull

we often hear them say.

When I heard them say that

I wounder if it could be

If any of these expressions

were ever made of me?

 

 "He's No good to anyone"

As honary as can be "

(Not even to his friends or self)

I have heard this too, you see.

So I wounder if these expressions

were ever made of me?

 

So, if they say the better things

I wil have to live to be

Honest, Kind, and Thoughtfull

Then maybe to some degreee

sSome of the good expressions

we hear, maybe made of me.
