Is he merely brash and imposing
a sorry imposter of myself
Is he real, a mean and threatening man
one who's stolen my identity
Not the man on the moon far away
far, in another world of his own
My friend saw him only yesterday
smiling on her TV she had said
Did he have a beard, all shiny white
A lawyer telling his client's plight,
lady accused of killing her man,
who ran him down with her Mercedes?
That was the one, but he isn't me
He's rich and famous, celebrity
People get us confused all the time
My doppelgänger I've never met - - - - - -

In case you wonder, the bottom one REALLY is ME.

Today I'm linked (link) with the
Real Toads, Fire Blossom Friday
She said, "I want you to write about the other you. What if you had married X instead of Y? What if you had chosen a different path in life? If you had a hundred chances at living this life you're in, what might one of those lives be like? I ask only that your alternate self be possible; maybe not likely, but at least possible."
Oh you had me with the first photo. Bravo and beware that doppelganger too! Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteHehehee!
ReplyDeleteI love how sometimes, rarely, our friends and business acquaintances see us how we want them to see and would like to see ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile - "people get us confused all the time"...Good one, Jim!
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered about my doppelganger.
ReplyDeleteI met the old me and she's a little different now. Oh, the dreams I had.
Excellent story woven into the middle there...the drama!! :)
ReplyDeletei like your attitude, Jim, that he must be "a sorry imposter" or identity thief ~ never give up your true self! great take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteLove the humor... I am not sure I would want to meet the other me. lol
ReplyDeleteHaHa! This is so funny, Dr Jim :)
