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

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!

And HARDY was known as a pompous ass

“Another fine mess…,” he would always sass...

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...

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.

grasping at the lives we chanced
those who survived

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...

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

Till the hissers crawled beneath
Such a boastful way to greet.
The darkness reigned with silence
Till the stingers made an entrance
Such a pompous way to dance.

A masterful foe
  This ego of ours
  It clothes itself
  In arrogant guise
  We know not
  From where it came
  But it chokes our lives
  With its pompous game
  With cruel intention
  It hardens and binds
  While we cower behind
  Our fickle minds......

would do well to get rid of his ego
and ignore the pompous refrain of his pride
who demands that “where I go, there we go”

Thoughts are ages-old
Well before separation, sorrow
Discordant, lavishly pompous
They blotted my past self out
sarcasm directed at man, I will be not
Timeouts Ignore
Promptly, it has re-emerged as a threat
