Wonder this you may
The origins of my name
An interesting thought
Of which I’ll entertain
Some twenty years ago
I discovered my inner poet
Imagine my surprise
For I was the last to know it
Even still today
I find myself amazed
Looking back at my writings
I stand confused and dazed
To myself I said
“I can’t be a poet”
But there upon the page
A poem, but who wrote it?
I look to the left
I look to the right
There’s no one else here
Just me alright
I’ll remember writing it
But can’t believe it’s me
I’m here all alone
So, who else could it be?
Perhaps a masked poet bandit?
Who robs from the rich
To give to the poor
And I got caught in the switch
An accident it must have been
Surely the evidence will show it
I’m as innocent as can be
Guess I’m an Accidental Poet
