At a Megalomaniac Convention

At a Megalomaniac Convention

At a megalomaniac convention
I fell in love with me
So I proposed and asked myself
Will you marry me?

No, I said, I’m too good for you!
Yet much to my chagrin
No, Was not an Answer
So, I asked myself again

Please marry me I asked once more
The question now redundant
But when your ego is big like mine
Results are not abundant

I went to the county courthouse
For a license to see me through
All they did was look at me 
And said, there’s only one of you!

I then went home to kill myself
But I had run my luck 
For every time I shot myself
My ego made me duck

And now here we all sit
The two of us that’s me
Blaming megalomania
For my split personality
