Man about town

Man About Town.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

HE IS THE TYPICAL 'MAN ABOUT TOWN'
SEEN STRUTTING UP or PONCING AROUND,
SOMETIMES CRAVAT, SOMETIMES WITH BOW,
BUT NEVER THE SAME TWO DAYS IN A ROW.

HE LIKES TO BE SEEN IN ALL THE BEST PLACES,
FROM GRAFTON LONG STREET, TO A BOX AT THE RACES,
HE`S LOOKING AROUND AND WAITING FOR EYE,
OR ANOTHER STREET WILL HAVE HIS BEST TRY.

HE FEEDS ON ATTENTION
NOR TALKS ABOUT TRASH,
HIS UNDERWEAR SILK,
HIS OUTERWEAR FLASH.

DEEP DOWN HE`S SO LONELY,
AND CANT HAVE A CHAT,
HE`S AFRAID HIS HIGH IMAGE,
ON THE STREET WILL FALL FLAT.

HE LOVES TB BE SEEN
AS MAN ABOUT TOWN,
HE IS IN EFFECT,
'THE CLOWN ABOUT TOWN'

I dont know why I choose this poem. I just saw it and I liked it, this was also the fist poem I saw so I decided that this should be the first poem on my blog. It might be that this poem is all in caps but this really stood out to me as a poem I should put in my blog. Normally I wouldnt put just anything in this blog but I did. Im not a clown so I have no idea why I choose this poem.
