She went into apocalyptic shock.
What is that?
I do not know, but it sounds catamorphic to me.
I smile at my aunt, who knows everything.
Always has, always will.
And that means?
It means a psycholometergist was called in.
Really? It sounds more like a medical condition to me.
Where did you get your degree? Online?
Talking to her is a treat.
She always speaks with authority using the biggest words.
Click a tee, click a tee, click a tee click,
Flick a dee, fick a dee, fick a dee, flick,
I do all of this to attract you my dear,
To lose you is my only fear,
I’ll sing you my song, tra la la, tra la la,
But I have many ways to impress you.
Spring is in the air, and I’m at my best,
Look at my red ruffled feathers on my chest,
My irresistible colorful plumage you won’t resist,
I want to show off to you, please watch me I insist.
I do not mind that you look quite dowdy
That is why we males are the dancing rowdy
Watch me swing from a tree my love
Notice my dangling dazzling feathers from high above
As I tumble down through the sky towards you,
Do you want to watch me whilst I run over water,
Doobey doobey doobey da, do doobey da do.
I have prepared many a nest for you, please
Choose one be my mate, don’t tease,
This one I’ve swept the garden clean with a twig,
Have decorated it with pebbles and flowers,
I’ve spent many hours
And I’ve built the nest with an exquisite view
While you lie with our chicks watching the blue
Sky, now I will dance for you
You can dance with me if you want,
As we bond, follow my fancy footwork when we slide
And definitely glide
Along a branch, and maybe by now you might.
Think I’m right
There, you have shown me I’m the one,
Agile, handsome, colorful and trim
And you are so pretty and slim,
Come, let’s enter our love nest,
With an avid zest.
Chirp a do, chirp a do, chirp a do, do!
It's funny how it's not enough to know you're right,
but you have to let everyone else know it too.
And then you wonder later how no one seems
to wanna be genuine friends with you.

Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance Quack - Nursery Rhyme
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance quack
a brain I do not lack
I'm a know-it-all
but I do recall
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance snatch
that I had met my match
when a contest judged
that a word was smudged
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance crossed
I know that I had lost
I went home to pack
and did not look back
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance quack
This fairy-tale means, If you are the smartest
in the room, it's because you're in the wrong room.

~~Eve Roper
hate full Moon show off
why shining alabaster?
Let night be black night
Not to Show Off One's Learning
(?? ???? ???? ???????)
Instead Self Effacing, B'Tz'nyus,
Otherwise, Imbibe Drink of Ego,
Schnapps in Shrinking Hollowness,
Rather Honor Your Fellow,
Not Me! Nor Mine! but Togetherness,
Elevate Your Jewish 'Bro,
B'Nai Yisroel Cholent Finesse!
Refrain from Preemie Torah,
Too Much, Too Early, Infatuation,
Better Nurture & Ripen in Aura,
Even Rav Chaim of Volozhin,
Was Refused by the Gra,
For Yetzer HaRah was in Suspicion,
'Til a Year of Reflection in Awe,
Passed, Then Yes! from the Vilna Goan!
Once there was a pitiful young dandy from Dubuque
Who behaved like a complete socially inept kook
Would exhibit his largest asset
In an inappropriate basket
It was enough to make a less endowed person puke!

The belief is there to be explored
Tired as I am
Scrutinizing the thoughts
Acceptance of the outcome
The pencil never leaves the hand
Sometimes and somewhere
Tossing and turning
Recreate and reconstruct
Meticulous and memorable
Is there more lines to flourish
The riding of the boat
Keen as I am
Invention of things to come
Innovation of the future
The warmth never leaves the pot
Excessive gifts
serve to bless his
show of largesse.

We pretend that
we're not easily impressed
but she truly is
an amazing gymnast
who at every chance
shows off her skills

The Bird Garden
Look at me I'm so beautiful.
As my wife, please be dutiful?
But all you seem to do
is put your head down and chew.
You're not vaguely impressed
with my plumage and dress.
I think I'll go visit hen Henrietta.
They say she treats a bloke a lot better.
I'll show her my plumage with a little wriggle.
Then Henrietta will start to giggle -
at the striking, sensuous sight.
She may even ask me to stay the night.
Oh! Now I see you looking my way.
Does that mean you're ready to play?
Hurry up I'll count to ten.
Then we'll play 'Chase the hen.'
In the Bird Garden there's two birds running.
One quite plain and one quite stunning.
Penny peahen is hiding under a tree.
Percy fell over and hurt his knee.
. 'Don't worry,’ said Penny ‘I'll kiss it better.'
He didn't object, he lay there and let her.
Now, if you in the garden in a few weeks time.
You'll see little chicks running along in a line.
Percy is proud of his little flock.
Three peahens and one peacock.
Penny will give lessons on chewing
While Percy will instruct his son on wooing.
They will be two birds of a feather
Showing off in all kinds of weather.
Trouble is, when feathers get wet
The vain birds will start to fret
Their grand plumage will be sad and lame
Perhaps no one will join their game
All the pea hens will just walk by
Saying ‘We’re off to find another guy.’
Rise and shine,
Know you are Divine,
You get to draw the line,
Let your heart and mind align,
Feel your energy intertwined,
Within all of your design.
Love is the light you shine,
Finding your way through the dark,
Your spark turns into a flame,
Lighting a fire to this game,
Life will never be the same,
Living free of guilt and shame,
I AM renaming my reality.
Reflecting what I wish to see,
I AM Shining so brightly,
Spreading love excitedly,
Showing it to everybody,
WARNING, It gets muddy,
Downright grubby and dirty,
And no matter how much it hurt me,
My reward Becomes eternity.

A show off fake off
She likes to show off her men at one side.
She likes to show off everything He's providing for her at the other.
But yet she still goes around trying to be a problem to another.
She lay her perfection life very well to the face of another.
But why she still goes around be a home wecker to another.
Of course by now I'm confused.
She likes to display her name brands just like her make-up
But me I get glad if I get the luck to do just one.
She likes to display her children like a "trophy".
Behind closed doors that's not really how she treats them at all.
A show off that should be grateful for everything they have.
Instead turn out to be a fake off. With a ungrateful heart.
So every time I see her I'm just thankful that I am nothing like her.
The pedantic words
May seem to you too much wise,
But they're worth nothing.
