I Am the Worlds Best

I am more beautiful than the best English rose I am educated to a standard you cannot suppose The riches I hold beyond your wildest dreams Victoria and David’s envy is bursting through their seams My intellect high,My nose up there too Looking on down from this great height, down on all of you The Greek God of medicine - Asclepius Would ask his mates "will she come to teach us?" Newton with his new found laws on motion After talking to me he would accept a demotion. Galileo, attributed to discovering the four largest satellites After talking to me he would not shine so bright My head is so big with all I the knowledge I possess My talents are beyond belief The only trouble is I can’t get through the door My head is stuck there and it’s giving me grief. This is an entry for Susan Burch's contest: Ridiculous Self exaggeration, but I fear it has too many lines. The trouble is I cannot take any away because this is me....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay have relented and edited it to the rquired amount x

Congratulations on your win Mandy. I had to shorten my submission by four lines to qualify for the contest. Your poem is good.
