STREETWISE







STREETWISE




I am more streetwise than you will ever be
That`s because of my upbringing you see,
I can read people like you`d read a book
And for this trait there is no hand-book.



I have learnt to listen and take all in
And to keep my own thoughts deep within,
To nod and smile at just the right time
Even though my mind is working overtime.



Studying people can be so much fun
Just by listening to them my work is done,
If they are genuine I can always tell
With others their merits they try to oversell.



Being streetwise keeps me one step ahead
Forever alert so as not to be misled,
Always wary that things can go awry
Therefore on my wits I know I can rely.
