Pompous


from the ABC set PLAYING GAMES

You're so arrogant, so pompous, so vain,

that sometimes I wonder if you're not insane.

You don't seek for Truth ?...No ! You have it already!

You have walked the path of the Sage. You're not needy.

'I think', ' I am', 'I know' are the headers

of all your posts, regardless the weather.

You like to belittle, to insult , to demean,

whoever has showed other truths, other means.

You re such a wonderful example of fool,

with your lack of a mind that could handle the tool

which would make everyone consider your thinking.

But it's impossible, man !...Look how deep are you sinking !

You're so tired a loser, a make believe of a winner,

But it shows in your mood that you're less than a sinner

of the Deadly Sin Pride, which you wear as a banner

parading your stupidity... Man ! That's not the manner !

And you go on and on with your boast, once again...

You are like a sick lion who has lost all his mane.

Can't you see how ridiculous you look for the smart ?

Many e-mails I get saying that you're a tart .

Stop boasting ! And 'Reality'... Go and get just a bit.

It doesn't hurt, and will make you more sound and more fit.

Stop bragging , my man ! Slowdown ! Try to think !

If you change your 'tude' maybe I'll buy you a drink !
