Pretty as a peacock posed in memory
Recalling my radiance ... stoic and shimmery?
Enough of your overgrown ego
Tsk, tsk ... Here we go -
Try not to set that beautiful crown so high.
You know I'm keeping my eyes on the sky
As you should.
Showstoppers can't help who we are
And now you've taken the conceit too far!
Please don't forget how you were captivated
Excuse me, you stepped in with charm activated.
Allowing you (and others) a thorough glimpse of personality
Confidence adorned with stylish mentality
Oh, so you were paying attention?
Couldn't resist your bold exhibition
Keeping pace with every move I make.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
