Premium Member he writes like he speaks

His writing was pompous and verbose
Why wouldn’t it be?
He writes like he speaks
He appears to be a loquacious windbag which he is

Simply

Simple thing and ordinary people
   most are humble and discreet
they don't have the rude, pompous
 false charm of the bourgeoisie...

Ladybug with loads of brilliant sass
Went night fishing and caught a bright blue bass

To take advantage of plebians like me,
His pompous tastes were exquisite.

We had to eliminate him as a guest, you see.

Congress

Politicians are pompous jokes;
not often are they just plain blokes.
They legislate pure ignorance,
while folks prosper on common sense.

Alas, my wife, your verbose superfluity
Displays an obstinate incongruity
It's just word play hide and seek
Be succinct when you speak
Ok—you're a pompous ass in perpetuity!

Laurel and Hardy

LAUREL was a man with not much class
And HARDY was known as a pompous ass
Stan can’t keep his big mouth shut
Ollie would strike a stinging cut 
“Another fine mess…,” he would always sass

Street 18

Shiny silver bullet opens to reveal pompous red cream;
cream that is spread like hot melting wax upon a plump young canvas;
A canvas that must walk the streets at night to be viewed for money.

Preacher

Pompous and blatant he preached
Rambled, cajoled
Until he was stripped of all his clothes
And, holier-than-thou
Exposed him in his own reality
In his sheer nakedness
And finally total silence

Premium Member we do not all want to see that

Pompous yam stuck his tummy out big and bold
It was not a young fresh belly, rather rotund and old.
He is so arrogant, he thought we would all like to see.
His rump-like rounded tummy; he’s full of idiocy.

Premium Member you can sit at our table

Draggletailed drippy dreary Doris Mable did not fit in
With her uppity, snobby, snooty, pompous pampered kin
The kids said Aunt Doris Mable, you can sit at our table
They had knowledge of a babe, a manger, and a stable

grasping at the lives we chanced

He seems to be the pompous sort;
looks down his nose at us and snorts~
"your poems are subpar 
and only fit as char" ~
in the judgement of his self-made court!

Roger Rabbit

Roger rabbit ran as fast as he could
Moving merrily 
Jumping joyfully
Around and around.

Searching solely for Jessica rabbit
Late lost in time
Suddenly seeing she was not what she seemed
Pretty prim pompous Jessica was a witch

Insanity

I let this man into my life 
Narcissistic, pompous, preening 
Speaking foolishly of things unfair
As I didn't get the meaning
Nothing spoken but hot air
Incredible enormous vanity 
Things said I couldn't bear
You know it was INSANITY
