Only Me Go Up Mount Ego

Please don’t crowd about While I shout about To be loud about What I’m proud about When you see me go In my tuxedo To my gazebo Atop Mt Ego You aren’t permitted Just I’m admitted Since I’m best fitted And most committed To begin my quest Because I am blessed Having passed the test To ascend the crest So please stand behind And form a nice line The views are all fine Of all that is mine And that may sound bold Or so I am told Until you behold Me adorned in gold When I’ve completed I will be greeted And then be seated Beside the conceited And since I’m unique I’ll get what I seek When I reach the peak Of Mt Ego this week

Let me know what you get, Mr. Egotist, and I'll take two at 1/2 the price. OK? Another great write, David. Keep 'em coming! Thanks, Gershon

OMG youve nailed it in a fabulous monorhyme David, some massive egos who wont even entertain having comments as their work is obviously SO superior to me as a poop poet , others write forms incorrectly yet make a big song and dance about how good they are , me ... I have almost reached my peak - to the top of the dung heap lol hugs jan xx

I see this in some writers! And it’s like the sound of fingernails on a blackboard. No~ I shan’t read poets like that. When I was a kid, these types were named show offs. I didn’t like that personality defect then …and I cannot stand it in the present. This is a clever use of the monorhyme that varies in stanzas. The imagery is sheer mastery. Thank G-d, you speak like a human, not Sir Thesaurus.( barforama). This poem is Divinity Fudge for me and a Fave…a sheer delight! Pangie.
