I’d Rather Talk To A Wart-Hog

I’d Rather Talk To A Wart-Hog

The wart-hog can be ferocious, so scary with its long tusks;
Especially if you come across one, in the waning light of dusk!
But I have found that there are others, who are more grotesque to me;
I call them “ugly word-hogs”, as egotistical as can be!
.
You will attempt to have a conversation, share viewpoints fair and square;
But they ramble on incessantly, for your opinions they do not care!
Their favorite words are, “I-I-I”, each sentence inundated with self-praise;
Sating their insatiable egos, not caring for other’s phrase!
.
I am sure you all have known one, and had to listen to their rants;
Their words, the only Gospel, of that, they are adamant!
So, “I’d Rather Talk To A Wart-Hog”, at least they listen then they snort;
They will ingest what you are saying, and answer with their retort!
.
.
                                 Flapping lips babble
                      No room for other’s viewpoints
                                  Egos run rampant

Dear Syd,

They are much more compassionate than "Word Hogs" aren't they?
Thanks for the comment.

Peace and Love,

Hi Sparrowsong,

This was actually inspired by a friend of mine from Alabama, who hunted them in "Tuskaloosa".  Ha!, Ha!

Love,
