Forgotten Hero

Today when I went down to the servo
I came across a forgotten hero
I thought, my God, maybe it isn't him
And maybe it wasn't, at a quick skim
But that nervous twitch and smile that he had
Gave me imagination to think it was
He gives me the hope that I can be bad
And good, though not at the same time, because
He is and isn't, he might or might not
He's delightfully gorgeous and about
It matters not a bit to me whether
He does or he doesn't pluck my feathers
I just couldn't help or avoid giving
A slightly knowing and yet off-hand grin
Because I never gave him cause to think
I heard him, and it saved me from the brink
