The Braggadocious

Empty breaches blowing hard in the wind
bragging pockets full of golden nugatory
strewn upon wiseacres chucked out
Toothless Chihuahua dragging its belly
upon the ground roaring like a lion
The Scaramouche in the grass crouched
The only thing sadder is the fanfare
of the children of pride they have their reward
Offering things that are not theirs to give
Abominations blown about like birds in the wind
playthings of naught in their own snares caught
