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.
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 brought
To err in any human way,
For he's above the common clay.
Commenting he could ne'er be brought
To 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.
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 ties
Are irksome to a high degree,
And with slander, against his mate goes free.
A martyred man whose connubial ties
Are irksome to a high degree,
And with slander, against his mate goes free.
