"Confidence (A poem that rhymes)"

If confidence came in bottles,
Or perhaps in jars,
I wouldn't have such trouble,
Meeting girls in bars,
I wouldn't have to drink so much,
To strut on the dance floor,
No longer would I think I was,
A conversation bore,

If confidence came in bottles,
Or if it grew on trees,
I wouldn't have to worry,
About my nobbly knees,
Fashion worries fade away,
I'd wear just what I'd like,
And when it came to karaoke,
I'd be first up to the mike,

If confidence came in bottles,
Or perhaps through taps,
I could climb great mountains,
And jump 'cross giant gaps,
I'd swim across the Channel,
Naked all the way,
And find a pretty French girl,
To roll with in the hay,

If confidence came in bottles,
Or perhaps in cans,
I'd hold the world to ransom,
With my evil plans,
As World Leader I'd be great,
I'd do the job with ease,
And maybe then I'd tell my mum,
I don't like mushy peas.

Excellent.

Admittedly, though, I had to read the second line of the first verse a couple of times to make it fit.
I eventually did though.
:-D

All of them, even, except verse 2.
I said it with a pause after 'or'.
Again, very good indeed.

Thanks.

I know what you mean about getting it to fit the rhythm, I kind of read it with a slow perhaps, and a bit ofd a pause at the end... Or per-haps in jars (pause)

Nice one.
The rhythm sounds just fine to me - though there was a little stutter in the last verse.

I laughed at the last couple of lines. Thanks for making me smile :)

Gonna write any more bits for us, Lindgren?

I may eventually. A lot of the stuff I write I would never post here though.

Aye, go on.
Feedback is always good.

Everything I churn out eventually ends up on here.
I guess I'm the attention craving type.

A lot of it is a bit too personal for me to feel comfortable posting it on here. I really only write for my own sake. I'll have a look through some old stuff later maybe and see if there's anything I'd post up.
