The Pretender Poem by Ray Hansell

Go ahead and tell me
Just how great you are
Go ahead and tell me
How you’re such a shining star

Go ahead and tell me
How you can’t be replaced
Go ahead and tell me
How you never just take up space

I have sat and watched you
You keep me quite amused
The way you handle people
They don’t even know they’re being used

But please let me tell you
Don’t try your game on me
I’ve been around for many years
Right through you I can see
