Smart Ass

I know I’m a smart ass –I am! It’s simply in my DNA,
And try as I might, I think it’s alright, to say the things that aren’t okay
I come from a proud Irish name, with legacy born of the bard,
With stories to tell, I will give you hell, and holding my tongue is too hard!

These straight-lines from so many people; they leave me an eye-blinking hole!
I know it’s a sin, but when I’m let in, my tongue will be out of control
Not trying to make them look stupid, I only note truth without fuss,
Just want them to think, or else I will sink, oblivion quite obvious

So if you don’t want me to gut you, engage your brain before your mouth,
If your jaw is slack, I can’t resist Jack, and quickly I will take it south
If we’re in a crowd and you’re rambling, about things you really don’t know,
Apologies Sweet –but you are fresh meat, and Smart Ass is where I will go!
