Only Me Go Up Mount Ego

Please don’t crowd about
While I shout about
To be loud about
What I’m proud about

When you see me go
In my tuxedo
To my gazebo
Atop Mt Ego

You aren’t permitted
Just I’m admitted
Since I’m best fitted
And most committed

To begin my quest
Because I am blessed
Having passed the test
To ascend the crest

So please stand behind
And form a nice line
The views are all fine
Of all that is mine

And that may sound bold
Or so I am told
Until you behold
Me adorned in gold

When I’ve completed
I will be greeted
And then be seated
Beside the conceited

And since I’m unique
I’ll get what I seek
When I reach the peak
Of Mt Ego this week

Let me know what you get, Mr. Egotist, and I'll take two at 1/2 the price. OK? Another great write, David. Keep 'em coming! Thanks, Gershon

OMG youve nailed it in a fabulous monorhyme David, some massive egos who wont even entertain having comments as their work is obviously SO superior to me as a poop poet , others write forms incorrectly yet make a big song and dance about how good they are , me ... I have almost reached my peak - to the top of the dung heap lol hugs jan xx

I see this in some writers! And it’s like the sound of fingernails on a blackboard. No~ I shan’t read poets like that. When I was a kid, these types were named show offs. I didn’t like that personality defect then …and I cannot stand it in the present. This is a clever use of the monorhyme that varies in stanzas. The imagery is sheer mastery. Thank G-d, you speak like a human, not Sir Thesaurus.( barforama). This poem is Divinity Fudge for me and a Fave…a sheer delight! Pangie.
