A world without this me might welcome a that me
a substitute version accepted by all
His rigorous workouts and modeling tight briefs
would conjure up images slender and tall
Talent with numbers might make him a banker
if coupled with ethics you’d welcome his kind
If he could pass the bar you’d want to have his card
when you were injured or some other bind
Were he a diplomat, strong and courageous
he’d build a world that’s more kind and diverse
If he had gotten some classical training
he’d be more likely to write better verse
For all the conjecture, I’d rather not think about
untimely leaving or false warning signs
A world without this me would go on revolving
the same as for anyone reading these lines
JD, you should post this over at writer's island, so people may read your words. Excellent poem.

What a fun take on this prompt. I love where your creativity took you. You have me thinking of how to think "what if I had been someone else." :)

Surely you are not trying to tell me you are an underpants model!I don't believe you.
