When women get together to laugh,
more wisdom
as to Life before
they separate.
Is that because
there’s space
by taking
out the bragging?

Humble Pie,
Sliced Thrice
-Famed in song and story!
-For your humility.
-I blush!
-Don't! Others set the table,
and you moved the plates and
cutlery around.
-Looking pleasant.
-Or faking it.
-Skip the humble in the next life?
-Wouldn't hurt to blow your own
horn once in a while.
-What, blow? Just the merest tootle!
-Let us know you're human.
-So I should have balanced off...?
-Couldn't help yourself!
-Too much power in humility!

Of Oneself
The Modest Man
would hurt blowing
his own horn, even
the merest toot! So he
had two Pulitzers,
in different fields?
He married, some wished
a true virago to vilely choke
his clean perfection, but no,
she medaled in Violin and
Olympic Skiing. Good Lord
such a pair! And never speaking
of themselves. Enter our Beau,
and the ear-splitting Trombone
of Self! A constant celebration
of zero accomplishments! When
it was suggested to look to Exemplars
and consequently shut up, he spat
"THOSE two? No thanks! Ice
coats Mount Olympus, but
on the jungle floor, the core
human stinks comfort one nicely!”
“Sez you again and again?”
“Again and again!” Wink.
Again and again.
