Those With The Biggest Egos

Those with the biggest egos I pity most of all To them the wise words do apply pride comes before a fall At every financial setback their egos do deflate The very thought of failure with them seems far more great Than those with lesser egos who take things in their stride The thought of failure to them not a great loss of pride Their egos not over-inflated so with failure they can cope With them hope springs eternal and they always live in hope Those with the biggest egos at lack of success feel down When things are going against them they are not seen in the town When their egos are deflated they feel in suicidal mood They wallow in self pity as in silence they do brood 'Twould seem they only can cope with success and with fame The bigger is the ego the greater the sense of shame.
