I met the ultimate Mr Condescending
Yesterday In the bank
He spoke to us like we were complete morons
Who’s brains had shrivelled and shrank
In order to excuse the banks obvious mistakes
He waffled a complete load of tripe
In a very condescending manner
And nonsensical hype
I do not anger quickly or often
But l could feel my anger rise
I felt the steam steadily blowing
Out of my ears, nose and eyes!
I retaliated with tone and attitude
As l could no longer hear his words
Once realising our brains were still in full working order
He shut-up and we were heard!!
Something truths, them there unfunny lies
Intrusive, non-sincere apologize;
Condescending rhythm broken unfunny feelings:
Asinine;
This clowns heart extremely stupid and foolish
Piper foolish prankster a cut-throat
Joker kidding around and not with goats
So pointless
Idiotic and senseless
Child like acting humanity
Slow-witted weak minded preposterous nonsensical
Something truths
them there be half truths
What's the use
Intrusive;
Condescending:
Asinine;
Being Condescending While Offending
Trump constantly can be condescending;
What he did has always been offending;
Become obscure,
Do wish for sure,
And us into tizzy he ended up sending.
Jim Horn
Though it's true I can never make a wrong right,
But I can at least make you feel the slightest bit alright.
He very well may not be the only love of my life,
But I can at least treat him as though he is.
Seems I am quite often dismissive of your attempts at advice,
But I can at least appreciate your gestures of concern for me.

Condescending and Ascending
What disturbances on are depending,
Will always be direction of ascending;
Will be rising;
Not surprising;
Confusion added when condescending.
Jim Horn
She says bow down before me and I will be your friend,
She will talk to me only if she can condescend.
With no hesitation she will try to put me in my place,
This is not a friend… or someone with any grace.
