On That Ol' Trampoline

Arrogant and full of conceit, 
          thinks he’s part of the elite-
seeking that which gives a boast,
          not thinking ‘bout what matters most.

          Parades around swagger with pride, 
way too much, if I must confide-
          he fears not the end of all time, 
and strolls toward the silver dime.

Then you ask me, “why should I care?”
          and I say, “OOOPS! I didn’t see you there-
well if you must know what I mean…
          poured caffeine on Jean on the trampoline!
