The Egocentric Poet Poem by nathan martin

The Egocentric Poet

Rating: 5.0


If your looking for the smart guy in the corner its me.
using the comparative method of etymology you will
find the definition of poet is me.
if i was a dinosaur i would be a thesaurus.
i also like to use big words in conversations like idiosyncratic
and unequivocally.

i am an intellectual giant im theocritus and atlas together
the weight of the philosophical world rest on me alone.
i seperate all of my isms categorically with schisms.

and when i go to starbucks they just say its on the house champ
because i once knocked out bruce lee and george frasier at the
same time with a 8 pound merriam websters dictionary
'unabridged version of 1913' of course,
calculating how long it would take for them to hit the ground
on my circa 1982 swatch-watch wrist calculator.

i'm the egocentric poet,
i'm the grammer-slammer

my punctuation is so proper it makes queen
elizabeth look like she is from south jersey.
and my bottle necked glasses are so thick
it makes gallileo jealous.

i once gangster slapped aristotle and quintilian
and then proceded to give an oration on the importance
of the liberal arts in classical antiquity.

in the beginning there was me,
i was there when adam named the animals
and i told him his definition's were to ambiguous
and that he needed to pronounciate more clearly.

i know everything!
vanity of vanities all of ecclesiates is about me.
i'm all over the internet.
i'm the egocentric poet.

This is hilarious and you have to admit, artists can take themselves a bit too seriously.
