Photo Challenge #13 “Three” – We Three

Photo – Tom Bagshaw

 

Three faces have I

The innocent

The wise

The scheming bitch.

Innocent self is cute

Been told so

Playful

Love animals

Wide eyes to the world

Never hurt a fly

Nor ever consider such

Wise self is philosophical

Learned

A man of distinction

But no big spender

Prudent, judicious

Discerning, tolerant.

My scheming bitch is vindictive

Proudly so

Cross me you are dead

Calculating

Looking always for advantage

Intolerant, self-centred.

 

I have learnt to separate

Them in my day to day

They are with me always

Ready to step up to any situation

As I go about my daily business

Of cajoling, teasing, manipulating

It’s an average day for me

You will never know which me

You may be dealing with.

I can wheel and deal

Flirt if you’re not alert

Seduce and entice

Leave you wondering

Was that my idea or not?

I think all three, for we are happily three

Play together on the same team

ME!

  1. I admit I laughed out loud “The scheming bitch.” because there is so much attitude in her expression that it really suits the photo. Fantastic concept Michael! Loved it =)

  2. Picked a good story for each side Michael, think there’s a bit of scheming bitch in many of us.

    Hmm, is checking to make sure my scheming bitch is not here. LOL. We all have different sides of ourselves. Nicely done!

    So, how are we to know which of the 3 is commenting on our posts? (lol) Great take on the prompt. I really enjoyed it (as did my inner bitch!).

    I like them all. Without any one of them – “me” would not be the same. 😀
