Ciao poet! You now have three votes!
As I was reading your narrative I could not help thinking that you were describing my ex-boss to the T.
Never met anyone so selfish and self-centred.
She thought to be the center of the world .. no of the universe.
She expected everyone including me to satisfy her every whim.
Every day there was some drama going on in her life, the theatricals ..
It would be a best seller.
Anyway, when I got to the end I laughed loud because my ex-boss acts exactly like a child of 4 .
I would be willing to turn a blind eye when dealing with a child cause it knows no better at that age but my ex-boss was truly a twat.
The things I allowed her to get away with, I kick myself now cause I shouldn't have let her pass a certain line.
I love the unexpected twist at the end.
Best luck in the contest!

I ?m no good at inventing

You should write about your old boss. No need for invention there.

Well, she was and still is a drama queen but at least I broke free. She is 66 now.
You have a very vivid imagination.

Funny and great verbiage! I recognized the picture and who he was, so I was ready for your terrific style.
One of a kind! And I hope to read more of yours.

Comment from bob cullen
I maybe not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I get the message, the target of this poem pissed you off rather well. What did he, or she do? I need some help.
Well written. If snake venom was laced with this amount of vitriol, no one would survive a snake bite.

It is entirely fictional, I wrote it as an exercise, writing in the style of another poet. It is based on a poem named Twat, by John Cooper Clarke. Hence calling my On Twat or with poetic licence On being a twat. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, On Being a Twat, is so funny in its initial wording, and then gets even funnier when we discover that the nemesis is only a four-year-old. Terrific.

Comment from Douglas Goff
Okay, I would be a big fat liar if I did not admit that I laughed several times. This part was hilarious:
grim
If I were to have a heart attack
You'd go and have one worse
Too funny. This so so so sounds like my father. Good grief.
Well done!

Ha ha ha. This is a very cute rant in a poem. Before I read the last line I was thinking I know this person but he is a lot older than four. Good luck in the competition. Jen.

I don't recognize the comedian you referred to in your notes but there are many with a similar nature- it isn't only s man thing but women absolutely try to make changes for the betterment of men. Thanks for sharing your poetic rant piece. Blessings to you

I feel your pain! I pick up a six-year-old kindergartener, and her attitude is amazing at times. There's no princess here, Queen! What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Thank you, this is an entirely fictional poem, no children are involved in my life and I am quite tolerant.

I enjoyed your "rant" so much. Loved the humorous rhyming and the surprise ending.
As i read it through I could think of a few people this would fit.
Anyway it made me laugh. Good job.
