A Density of Mind

Last night there was a star stumbling in the sky
Mumbling like an imbecile cuz it was high
Each disrespectful word
Was totally absurd
It makes me wonder... what is wrong with this guy?

He has no clue how to write poems that make sense
Guess I'll chalk it up to his mind being dense
He's a turkey and a pig
or better yet, a prig
For lacking the quality of effulgence

Haha, David. You are definitely not slow. Helios menippean is more like mean mean mean. I love your take on this issue and thank you.

Thanks, Tania. Ugliness begets ugliness.

We haven't had a hanging in Soup Creek for a while, guess I'd better head up to Boot Hill and start digging a hole lol. Tom

A spot ON Boot Hill says you're thinking like the mayor, but a spot in some gully says you're thinking like the undertaker. Speaking as the owner of the saloon, I say let the vultures feast somewhere OUT of town.

Good one. I suspect most of us feel this way about him, Jenna, but we simply do not know how to address this problem in a constructive manner. I'm certain he feels like he is a very competent wordsmith.

No doubt that's what he thinks. I guess the best way to deal with one who has a narcissistic attitude is to stop addressing his misconduct, and in so doing... he will have no soap box on which to stand.
