Ego's Down

not everyone's cuppa tea

Ego’s Down

 

Between the lines

Sat on a fence

Above the law

Beyond contempt

There sits

A tired and failing

Precedent

Trump card played

Tho few tears spent

No pomp

No etiquette

Oh’ how the mighty

They do fall

Watch as ego’s down

Exit 

Stage door number ….

just happened upon this and glad I did, altho there still seems the possibility of (along with that other thing that also appears to always be up) the stage door not have closed as firmly as hoped for
love Margie's reply
never short of colorful commentary

[Neville]

cor blimey guv'nor many thanks for breathing some life into what is essentially henceforth going to be re-titled Lazarus Rising .. Neville

[Dave Brown]

Very appropriate

There are a number of Trumpian words that are now forever indentured to the asswipe in our oval office (altho you have a fine asswipe of your own over there in the UK). What I'm wondering is, will any word that has "trump" in it ever be free from this stigma? I wanted to read this in a non-political way, which is quite possible, since this applies to anyone riding around on a high horse. But alas, the trauma is just too damn fresh over here on this side of the pond as 1000+ die every day & the buffoon gets his minions fired up about whether or not athletes stand for the nat'l anthem . . . his minions gladly carrying the torch & providing a smokescreen for his failures. I'm sorry I can't review this any other way becuz of the word "Trump" being there!??! (((STUMPED))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

do you know what Margie.. I wouldn't have wanted you to pass this little scribble by.. but neither would I have wanted you to respond to it any other way (IDs) Nevly .. Neville :)

Although not very political I smiled as I wended my way down from the title ........ a most clever play on words and can only reply - - lets hope " ee goes down" the chute very soon.

[Neville]

that makes two of us Fay .. truly tooly don't ya knowly :)

[Fay Slimm]

I dooly indeed and more..................x

The big ones fall the hardest.
I don't like to comment much on US politics (which is what this brings to mind) but I am finding the current leadership very entertaining.
Person. Man. Woman. TV. Camera.

[Neville]

I am almost always non political but feel very strongly about a couple of so called leaders.. one of whom is the Lying narcissistic, egocentric buffoon who is the current Prime Minister of the so called Great Britain.. However, you are of course write.. the big ones land hardest and I thank you for visiting these particular politically orientated words.... :)

[Papaya]

Back to my coffee and saturday morning funnies now...

[Neville]

.......................... enjoy :)

[Robert Trakofler]

hey if you see my ego would you give it a sandwich? he is on a sabbatical having been tired of being around me in my quarantine sequester! (i don't blame him I can be a nuisance) I imagine he will return at some point but just no tellin in the meanwhile I imagine he is cold and hungry for some sort of recognition! I still love that pic by the way:)

[Neville]

no worries.. consider it done son... :)

[John the Baptist]

Terse, nicely rhymed and very apt portrait here. I agree with the sentiments, but I don't have the same certainty. Ever since election night in 2016, I have had no certainty at all about politics. I probably will continue to have none until I see a helicopter carry that man away from the White House.

[Neville]

thanking you John... I took a bit of a gamble on this one, but sometimes, I guess ya have to get it off ya chest... for a micro-second I found the whole process really quite therapeutic :)

[Lorry]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, where have all the assasins of old went to?
Just when you need one most, they all seemed to have handed in their rofles and headed to suinier and safer climes.
Nothing surprises me any more about his ego that would make Kanye blush.
Who knows, maybe he'll be his replacement 😀

[Neville]

............. it sure is a funny old world mate :)

[Norman 223]

Playing in more than one theatre?
Just waiting for the lights to go up signalling the end of the performance before clearing the stage...Loved the critical review. Nev.

Norm.

[Neville]

thank you kindly, bigly and true sir Norm ..many thanks indeedly.. Hope you are well my friend & wishing you all of good things from down here in the west.. Neville :)

[Chris Shaw]

That's one cool dude in the avatar. One who would certainly get my vote, unlike others I could mention. Ego, yes he's got plenty of that, and he could find himself exiting the stage door before long. A clever write Neville. There's a few with huge egos that fit the bill in this write, not just the one that's played the trump card. Nice play on words. Aren't you a clever Neville ?

Chris

[Neville]

thanks Chris.. that is so very bloomin kind of ya.. would you believe the great bard himself Richard took it pon himself to enhance me old pic and make several psychedelic variants for me to gawp at .. what a nice bloke he is... x

[Chris Shaw]

That was really nice of him to do that. I have just reread my response. Please note that my wording regarding exiting the stage door in no way implicated you, I was referring to someone else entirely :))
