Why do you mock me

silently laugh?

I am not a fool

yet your lips suggest I am,

are you nervous

afraid I might

know things about you

perhaps from memory write.

Tell them of the time?

ah now look at your face

and mine is smiling

what a change of place,

have I found the Joker

in a well worn pack of cards

you are not an imposter

no no that would be sad.

Ego that is what they call you

yes Mr. Proud

the one boasts above the heads

of everyone eles

how sad,

Ego yes

you shake your head

its big enough

be careful

it could fall off.

Oh it has fallen

the glory days have gone

not so boastful these days

money not coming in?

Why should I feel sorry

you never did for me

laid me off

took my home

now we live off charity,

I am glad your down

and here's a coin

buy yourself a drink

then don't come back to these parts

ever again.
