A Vain Man Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

A Vain Man

Rating: 2.9


The guy smiles and turns verbal somersaults.
He never says outright what rankles him most
about those others free of his self-delusion!

Instead he attributes his failures to them;
his resume bears witness to his pride
in self-serving accomplishments.

His rhetoric is rambling and confused,
more rant than reasoned thought
as he attacks with hysterical venom!

Michael, now don't you feel better after purging yourself with this self assessment? It's wonderful. You should be proud. Not many would have the courage. Nice.
