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
Show and tell worthy, the top of the class
She is pompous now, that arrogant …….

Pompous city dwellers,
pretentious rock doves now
parade around like a

peacock, and yet, they're not
persnickety poopers:

Premium Member Selfish Sir

Selfish Sir had a certain profligacy
To take advantage of plebians like me,
His pompous tastes were exquisite.
He drained us on each visit.
We had to eliminate him as a guest, you see.

Premium Member 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

Throughout the outer cosmos you will find
ghosts leaving interstellar gas behind.
That is to say a galaxy remains,
where pompous, excess energy enflames
a slight shiver of the cold, viscous kind.

Premium Member Paul P Pepperidge the 8th

Paul P. Pepperidge the Eighth is a pompous ass
a dragon born to wealth, who has always known first class
he speaks to no inferiors, we are all that, you know
a braggart, a bigot, a bully, ready to blow

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.

Groom of the Stool

There once was a Groom of the Stool
Who used to use some kind of tool
To wipe the king's ass
With a degree of class
Sounds like a job for a pompous fool.

Now, who’s up for being King Donald’s Groom of the Stool?

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
those who survived
130 thousand forgot

news just 23 hours ago
