OLIVER TWIST  IS THE MAN FOR ME

Every man
I have ever met
Has always
Needed me
To be LESS.

Less funny,
Less bright,
Less intense.
Just LESS.

Less SOMETHING.
Some can't
Actually articulate
What it might be.
They just know
That what ever it is
That I am
Is more
Than they are
Comfortable with,
So the request
Is always for LESS.

But now, after years
Of trying to please
I am finally tired.
So I must
Advise you,
Dear friend,
I have discovered
To my distress
That I cannot.
And will NOT
be LESS.

In fact this
Will likely appal?
But I have decided
To ask for MORE.

So if all that I am
Is just too much?
Don't worry, darling,
All it probably means
Is that YOU
Are not enough!
