SOMEONE ELSE by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO IT BETTER
Last Line: FOR IT'S ANY ONE -- BUT ME.

Some One Else can do it better;
Some One Else is wiser far;
Some One Else is better posted
What the latest methods are.

Some One Else would be more fitting;
Some One Else would have more time;
Some One Else would please the others;
Some One Else would do it -- prime.

Some One Else has had more training;
Some One Else is not afraid;
Some One Else is used to leading;
Some One Else would give more aid.

Some One Else -- and do you ask me
Who this Some One Else may be?
You can find him without trouble,
For it's any one -- but me.
