Everyday
I’m getting bigger
Better
More clever
My heart quivers
Gives me the shivers
I flutter and
Flitter
Like an absolute beginner
But I’m a winner
I see past the glitz and the
Glitter
No time to fritter
Or be bitter
Over a trivial matter
I mutter
When I deliver
I’m prone to stutter
Go figure
Wanted to yell
Decided to murmur
A lingering rumor
Felt a slight tremor
Starting to remember
Listen closely
You’ll hear me twitter
Heaven knows
I’m no quitter
Expanding out
A
Fearless
Old critter
