Local Idiot

Vigilante wannabe
Intentions always good
Lost causes are his nemesis
Loyalty his strength
Abysmally annoying
Gauche socially to say the least
Egomaniac~ there’s one in every village

Sad to say there is always a village idiot and sometimes people can be harsh and sarcastic to them - maybe they are just screaming for attention at any cost! They often have an ego, but perhaps it is because they have a chip on their shoulder. Lovely poem Line great write. Blessings, Jennifer.

I thought we had the only one, then I noticed there was a number of them in Washington. It seems they even have a King.
