Ego for sale, cheap!
Used, yes--vintage, even,
but still maintains
a respectable amount
of the old, familiar arrogance, greed,
pride, general obnoxiousness.
Do you need one?
Ah, no. I can see that.
Yours is still strong...
and making you miserable.
Okay, how about this:
One ego, free to a good home!
Any takers?
Anyone?
I can't get rid of this thing.
Seems no one is lacking
when it comes to ego.
I could just leave it on the curb,
or maybe dump it at Goodwill,
along with some old slacks,
mismatched silverware,
and the useless Hot Dogger my mom gave me in 1972
(the one that cooked wieners via electrocution).
I just know I no longer need--nor want--it.
Why did I get one in the first place?
Why does anyone get one?
One ego--
no charge!
Anyone?
