They Are Bosom Buddies Poem by Francis Duggan

They are bosom buddies ego and pride
And that they are not dissimilar cannot be denied
The egotistical with others have nothing to share
Of the needs of self and self only they are only aware
In the early twenty first century self promotion is the in thing
Their own praises many only too willing to sing
There is always competition with each other when people with big egos meet
It is in their nature for attention to compete
Those who boast of their great job and their brand new car
One can say Are taking love of self too far
Narcissism one can say is self love gone wrong
To the humble of mind it does not belong
Ego it is a close relative of pride
And the egotistical are quite plentiful Worldwide.
