With a Name like Graham....
I have seen you walk into
A room with so much swag
And highbrow snobbery
That even the innocent air
Around you reeks your turgid,
Overblown musk.
I am ready to fumigate.
Cleanse the transparent vapors
Of my self esteem
That you came in
And tried to wisp off
With your arrogant criticisms.
Tomorrow when you come in to see me,
Like you always do,
I believe I am
Going to actually puke
This time,
On your lunch,
Or your papers,
Just going to the publisher, you say,
And perhaps you will begin to recognize
That we don’t all think as highly of you
As you think yourself
A room with so much swag
And highbrow snobbery
That even the innocent air
Around you reeks your turgid,
Overblown musk.
I am ready to fumigate.
Cleanse the transparent vapors
Of my self esteem
That you came in
And tried to wisp off
With your arrogant criticisms.
Tomorrow when you come in to see me,
Like you always do,
I believe I am
Going to actually puke
This time,
On your lunch,
Or your papers,
Just going to the publisher, you say,
And perhaps you will begin to recognize
That we don’t all think as highly of you
As you think yourself

Arrogance is a true irritant, and is usually unjustified. It sounds like you're handling Graham spectacularly well. Projectile vomiting should convey the message loud and clear. I love your sense of humor, Virginia. I hope I never incur your wrath!

Oh I'm a softy in real life, Graham. Mostly. This guy just walks into my office everyday and loves to say things to demean everyone around him. Thanks, as always, for you wonderful insight.

Mwhahahaha...smack down except that he'll never read this poem. More like a passive aggressive smack down.

your write is a boldly versed reprimand. it's a healthier way to vent...

I think puking on him would be much healthier...just less socially acceptable. Thanks for your comment, John.

He is one of the Ph.D students here that actually DOES NOT adorn a scarf...there are plenty enough that do. I work at a University, btw. Plenty enough pretentious, scarf wearing, overly stuffed intellectuals for a lifetime.

Seems like I somehow painted an accurate description of the little bastard. He IS a cracker. Hahahahaha.
