Pad 04/09/10

Day 9 of the Poem a Day challenge.  Prompt:  a self portrait

SELF PORTRAIT

I had evil thoughts today
and shameful expectations

I told lies
and ate more calories
than I'm allowed

If I was famous
the public would storm
my castle with torches

I would pay my consultants
to find me a way out

They would advise me
to do a commercial
with the voice of my
dead father berating me
for my crimes 

and I would do it
