What’s the first impression you want to give people?

Take me as you find me

That’s just who I am.

It’ll take you time to know me.

I’m naturally quite quiet.

---

As for first impressions

It’s hard enough for me

To summon from my bashful brain

Something I can say.

---

I hope that you will like me

That you won’t find me rude

But sadly conversation

Is something I find hard.

---

I have a sense of humour

I’d like to make you laugh

But I’ll never be the ‘life and soul‘

My humour is quite dry.

---

I’m thinking ‘get me through this

And out the other side‘.

Unless I know you very well

I won’t have much to say.

---

So clearly first impressions

Are not much on my mind.

I’m thinking, ‘Do the business

And just get on your way.’
