Ode to the self absorbed

There is more to life than you!

More to offer than what you do

Your self importance is such a yawn

Your lack of intuitiveness breaks at dawn

Parting has never been so kind

A life absorbed-

flour bleached and now refined

Rolled into one selfish square

A tart so bitter beyond compare

All wrapped up in oneself

Neatly placed upon a shelf

Gathering dust day after day

And tightly packaged for display

But no one buys the sour tart

It sits there as a piece of art.
