I Never… Poem by Charlie F. Kane

I have never done these things you ask of me,
I can tell you that it is because,
Like a good Freudian boy, it is my parents fault.
I could tell you it is because I am an introvert,
I could tell you it is because I am the Phantom,
I could tell you it is because I am too nervous.
I could tell you a number of different answers,
But it does not change the fact
I have never done these things you ask of me.
