I'm That One Bulb on a String of Lights That Goes Out and You Can't Stop Looking At.
I am not oh-so-beautiful
I am no princess in truth
I haven't a drop of royal blood
Nor silver save my filled tooth
Perhaps one may overlook me
Give me not a chance
God knows I don't sing heavenly
No boys ask me to dance
I cannot paint a fresco
I cannot tickle the keys
I cannot direct the perfect scene
Nor channel new personalities
While I admit to all of the above
And do so shamelessly
I know I've got some beautiful words
And they go with my humorosity
I can make some people laugh
And I can make them cry
I can tell them how I've felt
And they'll understand why
I can weave you stories
And even make them rhyme
And I can keep up to any beat
Never losing time
If you'll just listen close
And maybe tap your paws
You'll see that I am flawless
Despite all of my flaws
