The Man Who Could See Behind Himsen

 

 

 

The Man Who Can See Behind Himsen

 

He was the man who can see behind himsen

The man who can see behind himsen

A skill he’d had since way back when

It comes in handy now and then

To be able to see behind thisen

 

He didn’t have to bend his neck

When looking back… in retrospect

Nor turn his head to gaze behind

As would the rest of all mankind

Cos…. He wasn’t like the other men

The man who could see behind himsen

 

Out of sight…. Out of mind

But his insight came from behind

Not a lot got passed this guy

Cos even if it passed him by

He’d see it with his backward eye

He’d see it once… and then aggen

The man who could see behind himsen

 

His skill turned out to be his own undoin’

Cos he didn’t look where he was gooin’

If he’d have been more like the rest of us

He’d have looked to the front, and seen the bus

He was run over by a number ten

The man who could see behind himsen

Kevin, another smashing poem from your endless repertoire. Everyone of your poems is a gem or sheer originality with your thumb print on it. Keep them coming mate.
