You say you’re nothing special,
But I reject that that is true,
For if you want some solid proof,
Than I can give you one or two.
- You can’t pronounce “specifically”,
Without it getting slurred, - But to this day it still remains,
Your favourite slippery word, - You never eat the sandwich crust,
Like bones upon your plate, - You’ll always be ten minutes early,
But you’re never a second late, - You don’t know how to whistle,
But you try it all the same, - And every day you choose,
To answer to a different name, - You’ve never learnt to cook,
But claim you make fantastic toast, - You’re the first to own mistakes,
And you’re the very last to boast, - You can’t receive a compliment,
Without giving one back, - And everything you are,
Makes up for everything I lack.
