The Princess And The Plebs

She always thought she was a cut above others The most beautiful, the richest , the best A self confidence unbearably arrogant and explosive When with her, peoples patience were put to the test Outer beauty, plastic enhancements, riches is all that mattered She was insincere, rude and vain Never gave or did for another In her eyes other women were unattractive and plain Committed to a lunch work meeting At a restaurant by the sea It was a beautiful sunny day Being with work plebs is not where she wanted to be Glammed up to the eyeballs She reluctantly arrived Disgusted at having to be even near the plebs She went to have a cigarette outside She could see the plebs through the window Looking at them down her perfect nose Hoping to be rid of these deadbeats soon In their embarrassing low budget clothes Her negative ,superior body language was obvious As she stood outside full of false pride When several seagulls flew above her and let rip Raucous laughter heard from the plebs inside

The laughter i heard from the working folk was not in vain, how I laughed, I hope the seagulls find her again and again and again. Lots of love Jen

Loved the tinge of humour in your poem. Seagulls usually stay well afar. Not pigeons, though.

It is possible that this rude, irritating person is hurting inside. Or not. Options are open. Thanks for this poem. I think it has a therapeutic benefit.

I think a lot of rude or bullying behaviour stems from life experiences or trauma Hilda for sure. Thankyou…Debx

Hi Deb! Arrogance to me runs in people not in the wallet! I know many uppity, snotty people who like to take pot shots at anyone who has more than they, gross. Nonetheless…your poem is very well done and you painted a great picture of a haughty person. Pangie xxx
