You're Not A Saint You're Only Human Poem by Richard Wlodarski

You're Not A Saint You're Only Human

Rating: 5.0


When you can't get out of your bed
'Cause you have a bowling ball head
When you're stumbling to the bathroom
Tripping in kitchen over broom

You're not a saint
A little quaint
You're only human
Never knowing when

When you can't eat your breakfast
After last night's jolly fest
Can't recognize gal next to you
'Cause your view is a bit askew

You're not a saint
A little faint
You're only human
Lost in your dark den

When brunch is no longer munch
And you're feeling in a crunch
Waking up crazier than last night
And the sun's light a little too bright

You're not a saint
Not one to paint
You're only human
Looking at Big Ben

When dinner makes you wanna quiver
And your checking out your damn liver
And your friends are fartin' and balding
And your life is finally landing

You're not a saint
Not one to taint
You're only human
Lost in your own zen

Too be perfectly human is to be a disqualified saint, but I think their is greater depth to a person with flaws then a person who is a saint. Great write Richard. It celebrates humanity, not the sainthoods banality.

You depiction of human nature in its moments of weakness is blatantly truthful and powerful in context. A well thought-out poem. Thanks for sharing Richard.
