Loud and Proud

Picture this Meeting with forty-three women Two men Six at each table An extra squeezed in to one. Picture this I always sit by the loudest and proudest The most egotistical The one who always gladly shouts out every answer Sometimes wrong Sometimes right Does not count the wrong ones. Even if we laugh Picture this Loud and proud at another table Selects herself to be spokesperson Suddenly realizes she has done the task incorrectly Turns on a co-worker and yells “YOU SAT THERE AND WATCHED ME DO THIS ALL WRONG!” Not once, but twice. Screamer's face turns tomato. Nervous laughter. Except me. I was laughing flat out Loud and proud Great for any meeting
