Me

I'm captain of the soccer team

And scored the winning goal.

I'm strong and smart and good at math

And I'm on the honor roll.

I have perfect, chiseled cheekbones,

And I dress the latest fads.

You can see my flawless, handsome face

On several TV ads.

This year, I won the talent show

And was homecoming king

And got the lead in the school play

And won lots of other things.

The girls think I'm the coolest guy.

My rank is understood.

Do you wonder why I always win?

It's cuz I'm just that good.
