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
You should sample my pumpkin pies she said
They are so good, they make you dance in your head
My pies are the best, no one else could do better
She was braggadocio about them in every kind of weather
I am the queen of pumpkin pie baking
Two lovely creations I am currently making
an angry witch was so jealous, she stopped by
and transformed the braggart into a pumpkin pie
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.
My great aunt eats salmon every day
mentions her Mercedes on the hour
brags that she attends a mega church
my mother’s sister is the opposite of my mother
my mother was unassuming, modest
no kind of braggart or name-dropper
I love my great aunt’s voice so I overlook her braggadocio ways
She has voice inflections similar to my mother
Not her exact voice, but inflections I have missed for five years
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.
my dad had some braggadocio stories about being tough
he told me, we were riffraffs, ragtags, and roughscuffs
they knew us as the Southside Gang, boy, were we rough!
I grinned at my Daddy, who had never seemed rough or tough.
He has lots of these stories, trying to make me think he was gruff.
Full of escapades and narrow escapes, lots of extra made up stuff.
If I had called him on it, he would have walked off in a huff.
so I pretended that my daddy was tough, and this was not fluff.
