Have a Word With Yourself Coward

Sit yourself down And have a good long hard Word with yourself You yellow bellied coward So involved with yourself You are not the only person Who has problems Far greater than you The only difference is Unlike you they don't Wollow in their own self pity They take it on the chin Roll with the punches And carry on regardless Without the theatrical rigmarole And so should you If you weren't a superfluous dilettante Under the totally misguided illusion The whole world revolves around You and you alone
