Bri's So Smart! !….[ The Truth Must Be Told! ]

Rating: 4.5


You may have heard it said: "Bri's so smart! "
It's true, and that's not all, BUT "it's a start"!
I also have the biggest heart on Earth, yes sir.
With that, even "Mother Teresa" did concur.

My mind's topnotch; I've the purest heart.
Plus it's said my physique's a fine work of art.
Michelangelo's "David", by me, is surpassed!
"How much more is there? " …. YOU may now ask?

I'm also this world's most PROLIFIC lover.
Line up, ladies, & this you'll all soon discover.
Smart, kind, and a body no mortals can match!
But some may be asking: "What IS the catch? "

No "catch", but you doubt me? Is it YOU I hear now mumble?
That's OK with me …because I'm oh so very, VERY humble! !

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I've written some poems recently which have NOT been upbeat aka 'reflecting a positive attitude'.That's because there are 'things' in my life now because of which I CANNOT*** BE upbeat! ! ! {
But, lest you readers feel too sorry for me {: (}, AND lest you forget what a fine person and humorist I am, I wrote this in text form on my Stone Age flip phone..(it's not as smart as I am) ..yesterday to text to some friends. Now it's typed and ready for P-H.

*** (from grammarly.com) :

"Can't is a contraction of cannot, and it's best suited for informal writing. In formal writing and where contractions are frowned upon, use cannot. It is possible to write can not, but you generally find it only as part of some other construction, such as "not only... but also." "

p.s. you may STILL feel somewhat sorry for me, Bri.

No catch but you doubt me...big question. A leaf is smart for we see it as smart. A photo is smart for we see it do A tv is smart for we see it like that.... smartness is visible. Not so negative but it's good one. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for grammar guidance.

Funny, Bri. It's hard to be humble when you're as great as you are. I know. I have the same problem.

Valsa et al, I DO NOT 'see life as a great jest'. If i DID, i certainly would hope i could also ignore the discomforts (or worse) which life has to offer. I can, however, picture 'God in His/Her Heaven, looking down on Her/His creation and laughing hysterically! ! ! ! ! bri ;) p.s. " Krakatoa Kritic" is a friend but also a 'krackpot/crackpot'. Ha ha.

You are not only great in ordinary ways, but in extra ordinary ways! You are a bundle of contradictions! But you endear yourself to others with your 'huge' heart, child like candor! and more than everything, your ability to see life as a great jest!

Bri E. may be so smart, but his meter's opaque with a density quotient, the Gods might forsake. Tongue in cheek, web's undone, but with spasms of fun, and he rhymes, so he wins! Hope no evil Bri twins' in the closet, past-postal on poems that pose in-depth pulchritude, content, punch syllable's nose! Let's leave room - puns play part, for perverse forms of art, time that melts, colored dots; watch Bri's muse tied in knots!

OK: Does a poem that promotes your humility suggest you're humble? Hmm! Well, as a grateful immigrant, I try to give Americans a lot of rope, but I've got my eye on you, Bri! An 8+ to 9- for a fun self- effacement that sounds fair!
