would be hero

 Would be hero

He is fraud writes about going to the bar
drinking wine and beer, he must have read Hemingway
and tries to give the impression of a hard-drinking man
when he only drinks water and occasionally a soft drink,
talks about juice steaks when he mostly eats a bowl of soup,
he is pathetic likes to think of himself as a tough guy,
tells of lions and crocodiles which he has only seen
on a nature program on the TV.
He is deluded, sits on his training bike cycle for ten minutes
convince himself he has been on the bike for an hour
and tells everyone one about it, the fact is he is a solitary man
who mostly sits alone dreaming of great deeds, of the type
he has read other people do, perhaps the writer of the books
he has read are sitting by a computer and like himself telling lies.
