The Profane
The Perils Of Putting Yourself On A Pedestal
It’s nice and roomy up here on my pedestal,
the view’s great and the breeze is breezy.
I keep a great mirror up here on my pedestal
so I can lounge and attend to my self-care.
Lately, I’m here a lot and I must say I like it
and all the self-love really keeps me grounded.
Perhaps it gets a tad lonely, but it’s roomy and
the proles down below make for bad company.
I just love it up here, oh wow! What’s not to like
if there’s time to preen and watch life pass by?
If fact, it’s so spacious that I hardly noticed
when the lizards began to snake up on there.
First there was one, then there were two, and
soon enough a whole coterie, my very own zoo!
But they were good chappies, those lizards,
they knew I was a real studly, grounded fella.
They would clap and cheer and compliment
as I smiled and beheld the dude in the mirror.
Sometimes I wonder if this lovely looking glass
made my lineaments look so slightly off-colour.
But my friends, they ascertained that it did not,
so this marvelous pedestal is where I will rot.
