He’s a very modern thinker with a very modern mind
\nAnd overall exemplary of much of humankind<\/p>\n
In ordinary circumstance cantankerous of mood
\nDisinclined to listen, and quite inclined to brood<\/p>\n
Self-appointed arbiter of all things a la mode<\/i>
\nIntent on self-expression in adornment and abode<\/p>\n
His lofty thoughts ascending into gossamer hot air
\nBelieving that he radiates a certain savoir faire<\/i><\/p>\n
He’s supremely overbearing, sublimely misdirected
\nSecure within his mind that he’s a leader (unelected)<\/p>\n
“I assume you’ve read that article? I really liked the quote.
\nI hope you’ll understand the implications for the vote.<\/p>\n
“They really should have listened when I said as much last year.
\nOh you never heard me say that? Perhaps you weren’t here.”<\/p>\n
There is no use even arguing, you might as well agree
\nHe is one of nature’s creatures and it’s best to let him be<\/p>\n
For there’s nothing to be done, there is nothing one can say
\nThe species homo hubris<\/i>, I’m afraid, is here to stay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
