Mister Smarty Pants

For everything he's got a stance
Can he be wrong? Not even a chance
He was tall, handsome, never denied
Quick witted, although empty inside
What he hated most was uncertainty
Built moats round what he wants it to be
Got all the answers does Smarty Pants
Some fools buy into all his rants
His universe is a tiny atom
No way to unlock another fathom
He doesn't know what he doesn't know
That's just the thing, off he'll go
Mostly hope he'll be running thin
Though he always gets the last word in

Very clever, Greg, I have know people like this and I tend to find them quite boring. Nicely penned my friend. John

Yes John, we all know this guy, tried to give it a light touch. In today's world this thinking does have dire consequences. Thank you for your read and remarks.
