Chest puffed out, your nose in the air. You think yourself fancy, but we don’t really care.
Skitter around, chittering in every available ear. You tell them what they’ve always wanted to hear.
“Be this, look like that, our group is the bees knees.” “They don’t know, they don’t fit, off by many degrees.”
Telling them they are the chosen, the elite. Sadly, measuring up-they will never complete…
your demands, your lies you tell. We know they come straight from the pit of hell.
Pride, you go too far, we know who you are.
Pride, at times, you get the best of us all. If only we could remember, after you, always come fall.
Aaack! Love the smug smile on that frog’s face. 🤣 Good picture. Good poem. Good work.

Sure would be nice to blame it all on an ugly road that whispers lies in our ears. But we do have to take some of the responsibility

Of course. Know what we’ve done, what we’ve said or done to worsen the situation.

‘Bee’s knees’? Have not heard that in a while, not since I said it. Nice to see it in print.

I am glad you did not. Now I can use it when Deviled Yeggs investigates the untimely death of Buzz the Bee (from the Honey Nut Cherrio cereal box).

Thanks Warren. We all have been there haven’t we? I guess if pride a living being, it would look like that frog with his nose in the air. Lol
