Portrait of a Fool
Thy arrogance shall not swelter
in one's intellect nor shall it purge
itself in the form of ore in one's smelter.

Thy arrogance bold and lush
Thy conceit of so...dank and burden
Thy walk must portray an illusion
of thyself yet concealing thy own preclusion.

Thy arrogance is cloak of self doubt
that noone in thy presence proceives
thy wish of clout.

Thy arrogance is revealed as a weakness
to thy audience those who applaud do so with sympathy of thy absence of confidence.

My dear unadorned soul depart my element thy arrogance is an impediment to the fragrance of this sideboard bouquet.
