You’re so absorbant
Like a sponge
You leave us all so dry
Cracked and wanting more
Your moist words
You sit
You drip
Your words are all so wry
Our attention is your mirror
The reflected light fantastic
You trip
All day long we see
The movement of your lips
You’re soaking wet
Swimming in a pool of wit
Cascades of words
Fairly drip from your fluid lips
You always trip
And lose your grip
Before you slip
Born and bred
Once the A list
Now the Z
Oh yeah, well done, some people do love to go on and hear the sound of their own voices….Well done, I love it!
We’ve all met them, we’ve all listened to them and we’ve all felt so absorbed by them ad nauseum but hey, why not immortalize them too in verse! Thanks Lorraine, I’m glad you liked the spirit of it.
pretty good!….its kinda funny
Thank you shraddha for finding a chuckle in my words. Please come back again, it’s nice to see cool new people read my stuff.
Excellent Val.
We all know someone like this don’t we?
Oh yes we do. I think I’ve known a few more than I feel is fair, but hey, it’s all material isn’t it?
Great piece of poetry… and for sure, we all have our fair share of experiences with some like this!
Loved the way it ended… quite apt!
Thank you Dark Lord. Eventually, we all must meet our nemesis, our character flaws. It’s just that public figures, in this case, media personalities, appear to be so deluded they are oblivious to the egomania that screams from every pore.
Is this an ode to sponge bob
haha!
Actually Jessie, I wasn’t going to say anything, but Patrick the starfish asked me to post this for him. Who knew a starfish could be such a hater?
Great stuff, Val! You know the sad thing is that I can think of entirely too many people that this could be written about–both in the public eye and my little social networks. I love the words you chose in this one, they really paint a picture of a sniveling, self-important person who drools insincerity.
Thanks Danielle
I like that, ’sniveling, self-important person who drools insincerity.’ The media has really given idiots like this a forum too, so we get to see and them 24 hours a day if we want! We’ve got someone in government here who is the original pattern for this type of character and his ability to boast about nothing is astounding. What a dipstick he is. lol
Sounds like Villain to me.
Yes, it could be villain and he does get up to some dastardly deeds in the second book.
Also, it’s really funny that in an above comment you said “Thank you Dark Lord.” Now, I know you’re speaking to the comment-er…. but for some reason that line makes me picture you as an evil mistress in a straight to DVD horror movie. Of course the part of Dark Lord is played by one Mr. Wil Wheaton.
Yes, and my name is lulu
Now, if I could just find a way to turn Granny Destross into a cartoon, Wil Wheaton could be the voice of Villain!
IT is a great poem val, I feel like sending it to several individuals I had the disgrace to have known.
But let me tell you something personal here, mostly I would love to send it to a guy who was my best friend growing up, he always thought he knew it all, but I did not care, he was a good guy, indeed I still don’t care I love him anyway (of course for other many good acts he did, not for his speaking mouth).
It’s always a love/hate relationship with people who challenge us and perhaps they also highlight those aspects within ourselves we abhor enough to diminish consciously. Sometimes boorish people like the prophet of doom and your childhood friend can also be the most generous. You either love them or hate them, no in between.
