Better Than You

It's inevitable, it seems, to encounter someone like this along life's journey...

Hello, I'm new here. I am better than you.
I'm smarter and kindlier — cleverer too!

You're stupid; you're snooty; you're unworthy of my precious time.
As for me, it's plain to see — I'm magnificent and sublime!

Please do not advise me to better communicate.
Already I do that well; my intent is to berate.

Let me explain (since you're all kind of slow):
What I speak is the truth, because I say so.

Your thoughts do have value, if they jell with my opinions.
Challenges don't suit me, but I gladly welcome minions.

I simply cannot fathom why so many do not like me.
I told you I am fabulous — could anyone disagree?

You're all too far beneath me; I need a brief reprieve.
So I'll get on my high horse, and take my humble leave.

Better than me, I've no doubt you are,
Your humour and vision outstrip mine by far,

What is it I like in your startling style?
Anent we shall know, but after a whyle.

For a smart turn of phrase you do have the edge;
My fastest replies leave no one in dread.

Enjoy it, you say?
There be not a doubt,

We greet you with smiles,
And never with pouts.

Rascal - loved it. Made me smile and even wince a little at how close to my own pious self that sounded.

Gypsy - brilliant response, made me holler out loud.

Thanks for sharing.

To your sanctimonious flare, I bid thee good morn.
So troubling the retched few, who grovel and scorn.
Tis not our fault, they find trouble in rhyme,
clear thought and perception, how doust one live with such kind?
Yes, patience, quick script, to such malady,
but how does one explain, what the meek cannot see?
One of the chosen, how troubling to bare,
to never be so gifted, with such richness to share.
Such a rascal, all must hasten to concede,
imbued with such prowess which should be envied.
Give them tythings, share with them good sir,
So that their rabble, we do not fastidiously incur.
