Some People I Know
Back to Poems
Some people I know like to chatter,
while others speak hardly a word;
Some think there is nothering the matter
with being completely absurd;
Some are impossibly serious,
while others are absolute fun;
Some reserved and mysterious,
while others shine as bright as the sun.

Some people I know appear sour,
but many may seem pleasent and sweet;
Some have the grace of a flower,
while others trip over their feet;
Some are as still as a steeple,
while some need to fidget and fuss;
yet every last one of these people
is somehow exactly like us.
