It’s a Hard Life Being Me.

\nBeware of what you wish for or the best may came to pass;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A curse that’s hard to beat, you will agree.
\nWith too much luck you’ll wish you were the bottom of the class,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It’s hard to be as great a man as me.
\nThere’s never any flaw in any task I undertake
\nAnd never any chance that anything I make will break.<\/p>\n
Some people think my life’s a charm, I’m beautiful it’s true,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 But what of that? It’s such a dreadful weight.
\nMy wish, my friends, is I should be as fallible as you,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 To not be always right, that would be great.
\nBut such a dream will never be, I’m doomed to live this way,
\nThe only perfect being you could meet on any day.<\/p>\n
Today I saved a dying race, I ended several wars
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And global warming? Not a problem now
\nI live my life surrounded by the roar of mass applause
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And journalists who want to ask me how.
\nNow aren’t you glad that you’re not me, you’re fallible and small
\nYou go to work or stay at home and no-one cares at all!<\/p>\n

\nDamn it’s tough to be so perfect!<\/p>\n
I am also probably the most modest man you will ever meet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
