A braggart for sure
The top best at everything
Amazing stories
A hit at a few parties
Until we could not stand him....

Silence is, a noble
        lifetime counselor...
        That conduct us to elaborate...
         Noise ,
         Is a braggart that
         it just annoys... !...

There once was a driver named Dave,
Of his driving he often would rave.
Then one day on his own, drove and talked on his phone,
Now he's bragging about his new grave....

There once was a big braggart called Trump
Who called everyone else a big  chump
He claimed black was white
He turned day into night
Till he came down to earth with a   bump...

Coffee, the beverage of people worldwide
Three cups a day makes the brain smarter as an aside
A braggart I'm not
But I'm obviously caught
In a dilemma, not a fact this super brain can hide...

He has time to criticize
  though no accomplishments has he!
    Just another braggart 
      with his  'act' of victory!

          but right now ...he KNOWS his NAME!
             and next week he'll play Change Game!...

Down the Trail

                                              Braggart skies tease grey clouds
                                              Snow dogs Your steps
                                              No summer blooms for me...

smart
brilliant
self-proclaimed
a braggart too
this is no secret
she wants in my book club
so she can be president
I am extremely bright she says
She is my next door neighbor of course
I look both ways before I leave my house...

CHIMERA OF GRANDEUR

Sheriff Barney had false swagger of air,
a braggart with chimera of grandeur,
skilled winner of women’s heart
couldn’t play well the lover’s part,
songs of romance fell flat on his tin ear.

Born of a cloth wrapped in fear and loathing

A dyed in the wool wolf in sheep's clothing

A scoundrel at heart for all here to see

No sacrifice made or hero to be

A braggart that speaks only tongue and cheek

A coward at best that preys on the weak

What goes around comes around without a sound 

So when the time comes lies dead on the ground...

She dresses spicy with ruffles and satin so bright.
We know she’s here, because the air gets light.
The chiffon on her sleeves are the palest tan.
She dances in high boots, with cutouts that can.

Who is her dressmaker the plain women ask.
She designs herself says her Great Uncle Flask.
He is not always reliable, and a braggart so…
We have no idea if this is the truth, as you know....

Failed to include me
Armed and dangerous 
Mental abuse
Intense shame 
Loss
Yearly anxiety and anguish

On alert always
Fiends not friends 

Never enough
Always on guard
Remarks that hurt
Can never please
Angry people
Severed ties
Slanted views 
Insuperable
Sexist
Traumatic memories 

Braggart
Reprehensible 
Overly controlling
Threatening
Hedonistic
Egotistical 
Ruined family...

A boisterous, blustery braggart,
an orange-headed toad of a frog,
croaked in the bog ‘bout Magaga:
Ezekiel’s Gog and Magog.

His roaring set off a big earthquake;
brother ‘gainst brother with sword.
The Gopers destroyed one another
for they, all the warnings, ignored.

The country descended in chaos
to the glee and delight of the progs,
but this story has not yet unfolded;
somebody please gig that frog!...

He was a young English soldier in India,
A soldier's funds are rarely ample,
But he went into a mideast Bodega,
He sought a gift for his Indian girl,
Gungahontis...
Her favorite cologne, Eau de Camille,
sat on a shelf...he had not enough
money to buy it himself
So he pulled out his Dinar Card, 
and saved the day,  at least till about
when he stopped to bray about his clout,
an hour later when he was killed
by runaway horses.
Seems he was not the only one running
at the mouth....
