My first author photo 

Will be very hard to find,

To show me in a good light

And disguise my behind.


I want it to knock years off me,

To iron the wrinkles out 

but I don't mind the laughter lines,

'Cause that's what life's about.


If possible I'd like to seem

Like someone who is tall,

So maybe the photographer 

Could stand me on a wall.


What would I be doing?

Who would be with me?

Those are things that time will tell

And very few will see!!


Ah well!

Yes, I'd be the one in the background! Photo from the National Library of Congress collection

I have to dedicate this poem to Wattpad's own master of humour and verse OwainGlyn who has and is the real deal :))

Best wishes for your launch Owain :))
