Quem sou eu e o que eu faço?
Vou vos mostrar o meu querido espaço
Gosto de viver a vida como ela é,
Com choros e risos, a pontapé. 

Sou letrista e sou compositor, 
Canto pouco, mas com amor.
Se sou poeta?! Talvez…
Só não faço rimas com “Inês“

Profissionalmente? Não interessa.
Mas, já que perguntas, não tenhas pressa. 
Sou Fresador e sou torneiro,
Ou seja, frito ferro o ano inteiro.
Frito ferro, com ajuda de um computador,
Por isso, também sou programador!

Sou o que sou e assim acontece:
Sou pouco mais que do tanto que parece.
Amigo, leal, transparente e maluco
Sensível, ingénuo, alegre e bruto. 

Tenho o que tenho 
E se não tenho, não consigo…
Tenho cabelo castanho 
E os brancos são castigo!

Como se cuida o Renato?
Boa pergunta, de facto.
Adoro cozinhar e, claro, comer,
Difícil é dar lhe água pra beber!

Ele sabe que tem quem quer bem
E ocupa se como pode também
Na pregação, que é voluntária, e
Um dia destes, em ajuda humanitária!

O que se diz sobre o garoto?
“Ele é oito e oitenta e oito”
Autodidata inconvertível,
Chato, teimoso e impossível. 

Ditados e frases, faço coleção:
Modifico tudo sem exceção!
‘Aprender… é até viver!!
Eu cá, não quero morrer!’
