Worst of the Lot

worst types of people in the world

my mother had opinions 
about everything under the sun
dividing the world 
into those that bored her
amused her or charmed her
dividing the world in those that knew
and those that did not know
she had particular scorn 
for so called experts
saying a PHD 
meant BS piled high and deep
never trust an expert
she would expertly assert
her greatest scorn

her greatest scorn 
was for reformed drunks
calling them the worst 
of the lot
they should shut up
and have a drink already
she smiled as she drank 
and pontificated 
about the political class
she had enough of them all
berkeley hill liberals bored her
bored her silly
with their endless games
among the literati set
