Big Egos

Men with big egos I meet every day Some in their prime, some middle aged and some ageing and gray And those with big egos not hard to recognize Body language expose traits I have come to realize Men with big egos many in every town Their hair may be black, foxy, blond or gray or brown They do grow older but they don't grow wise Their swollen egos to arrogance give rise Men with big egos live on every street They live enamoured in their self conceit Big egos in the pubs and shopping centres and in the park playing cricket and football Though ignorance is bliss or so they tell us and pride it always comes before a fall Big egos as per usual in abundance the truth is one can meet them anywhere And I should know as I have a big ego and fellows like me have never been rare.
