Braggadocio Obama
Junior senator melodrama
Created terrorist cyclorama
Over and over killing Osama...

There are too many people whose favorite trick,
Is to preach, "Walk softly and carry a big stick." 
But, in practice, they arrogantly sing Yankee Doodle
And stomp around loudly, but carry a wet noodle...

Me friend, Ol’ Paddy’s, a joke
He thinks he can best any bloke
    “you’ll see …
   None better’n me!”
(‘Tis braggadocio he spoke.)

So I, from rancid cuisine
Passed gas - ‘twas really obscene
    Then I state:
    “Do it, Mate:
Catch that ... paint it green!”...

He rode his dismal horse
all day and night
and to the grave of ashes.

A life
and less than a life

Fantasies
crept up like flaming fire.
Even der Fuhrer was amazed.

Like many of low esteem
he flaunted his braggadocio,
pounding it in
as with a steel hammer....

They were a couple
He was a milligram
She was a million

They were a couple
He was a braggadocio peacock
She was a compassionate giving deer

They were a couple
He was a worthless sloth
She was an enterprising entrepreneurial bee

They were a couple
It should not have worked at all.
It worked beautifully....

I am a giraffe tamer she bragged.
We laughed, knowing they rarely need taming.
I can beat you at any game or sport she said.
That’s when I lied and said I am never gaming.

I am an antelope rider, she told me.
I decided to stay away from her after that day.
She was stuck up and braggadocio
In every wrong kind of way....

Had three goals and five tiny aims.
Truth not braggadocio, mind claims.
Imagination issues all of the blames.
Thinking up new powerful video games.

My best idea is from the River Thames.
Following my dream about England’s King James.
I am not usually one to drop celebrity names,
But this poem is toast, going up in flames....

I have written the ultimate love song
it was the braggadocio cad, Sir Edward
He thinks his words are golden laced with silver
Some of us yawn, I may have giggled

He plays his song for us, which is no surprise.
It is amazingly tender, romantic and well-written.
You did not write that! Accuses his sister.
Sibling rivalry is in full swing, so we scatter....

She was ultra-exquisite
More than comfortable in her skin
She wore herself with pride
Not braggadocio, confident

Understanding rationale for showing her best self
so those who followed would have a fair chance
to also live their truth
Not braggadocio, confident

She was an African queen,
a nurturing mother,
a woman with a mission
Not braggadocio, confident...

Looking into myself
I choose my mood wisely
Throwing off braggadocio mask. 
Unique task requires empath woman
And a bit of warrior queen
Impulsive out-of-control loud mouth girl
Waiting in the shadows, hoping to be summoned.
I smile, knowing we will be baring our teeth
At each other before the task is complete.
She lets out a tiny primal scream.
Showing me she is ready....

I am the only patriotic red, white and blue gnome in the USA, Egmit said.
I was surprised at Egmit’s braggadocio but kept silent.
The 4th of July parade starts at two, and I knew the theme was gnome.
By three that afternoon, Egmit had a long face, he was in tears.
There had been over two hundred patriotic gnomes in the parade.
You are the best one, I told him. This seemed to cheer him a notch....

Jasper is the ultimate peddler man
Has all the supplies and says “I can”
He is the quintessential help you with it man.

He has things to wash your windows,
Sweepers for your floor.
He’s got polish for your shoes, your sheets and more.

No matter what the problem he has a solution.
Jasper can get rid of mongrel dogs, mites, germs, and pollution

His braggadocio ways are well known around here.
We call him when we need him. He is always near....

Fancy pink flamingo did not think she was the best.
She tried to hide it with patterns and prints above the rest.
Her braggadocio ways were off-putting, but she did not know
How to be her happiest, or that she had far to go.

She covered her insecurities with a glittery feathered boa.
Her mother said “That’s enough! You are being quite a show-ah!”
She acted like a diva, but it was because she felt like she was less.
A really good friend showed her she was great; her name was Tess....
