AVERAGE JIM

Sometimes Your Hero Loses Focus

Has A Brave Heart With Human Flaws

You Get Hurt About How They Backed Out

When Even You Could Beat Average Jim

Sometimes The Guy You Knock Into

Has A Lot More Skin Than You Do

You Get More Hurt Than You Thought

Yet They Could Have Just Been Average Jim

Sometimes The Girl That Steals Your Heart

Has A Heart Well Preserved For an Average Jim

You Get So Prickt By All The Roses You Bought

When All You Needed Was To Be Jim

Sometimes The Job You’d Give Your All For

Has An Inept Buffoon Bungling It At Will

You Get Really Hurt They Are Not Found Out

When They Were Just an Average Jim

Sometimes The Music That Soothes Your Soul

Has Sent A Wretched Gabby Dangling On A Noose

You Get Totally Hurt By ‘In What’ He Was Caught

When Survival Lay At The Level Of Average Jim

Sometimes The ‘I Love You Too’ You Yearn For

Has Earned Someone A Bullet Between Their Eyes

You Get Immensely Hurt By The Pain That Brought

When They Could’ve Taken ‘No!’ Like Any Average Jim

Sometimes The Intelligence You Wish For

Has Been Someone’s Ticket Into The Mental Asylum

You Get Solemnly Fraught By What Such A Brain Got

When All They Just Refused To Match Was Average Jim

Yes, Sometimes, Just Beat Average Jim

Work A Little Harder To Stay Above Him.

Yet Sometimes Just Be Jim

There Will Be Those To Whom You Will Still Be A Dream

A Hero!
