One need not be in
politics
To practice
down-and-dirty tricks.
When one fixed on
himself is keen.
Look how he swells;
The tales he tells,
While seeking
others to demean.
To gain all glory
he’ll embark.
He operates without
benchmark.
No conduct clue,
He’s much ado –
We think he might
glow in the dark.
No pound of flesh
will satisfy,
Nor does he still
his battle cry.
Napoleon
By him’s outdone.
To this one rules
do not apply.
His self-strong shell
is compromised,
Though he to date
is unchastised.
Enough! Enough!
Let’s call his
bluff.
A blowhard’s trust
is ill-advised.
