Dark Cloud

He is like a deadly disease bringing despair.
He won't take the hint, he isn't wanted anywhere.

He is like a dark cloud, polluting the air.
Yet he insists on showing up unannounced everywhere.

His sense of self importance is baffling considering he has accomplished so little in life.
Most people find him insufferable, even his own sweet wife.

He boasts of grandiose dreams of wealth and fame.
He is clueless to the fact that no one gives 2 shizits about his crappy game.

He will keep talking and talking, even when no one will listen.
Unaware he is a waste of space and a waste of perfectly good oxygen.

He is condescending to others but being called out gets him frustrated.
He wears a stupid hat too small for his big ugly head
and always looks angry and constipated.

He is easily upset when his ideas are ignored or dismissed.
He hates being in group settings where his butt is not being kissed.

When people aren't admiring him, he will throw a pity party and wallow.
It's a shame that 51 years ago, his mama didn't swallow.
