THE EGOTISTDedicated to the Man Whom the Cap Fits
THE Egotist is such a man Who deems himself the great "I am,"The world to sin and vice is prone While he, consummate, stands alone.
He sees in others every fault- Commenting he could ne'er be broughtTo err in any human way, For he's above the common clay.
But you should watch his little game- You'll find it's not so very tame.His constant pose of a grand good man Is just a lie, an artful sham.
He lives along in sly disguise, A martyred man whose connubial tiesAre irksome to a high degree, And with slander, against his mate goes free.
