Grand Poobah

He swaggers into every place he goes
as if he owns the joint.
The hat he wears looks like a pizza
balanced on a  fountain pen's point.

He fancies himself a man among men,
intellectual, strong and handsome,
but the illusion fades rather quickly
whenever he throws a tantrum,

and then his disposition,
which he had tried to depict as sunny,
makes him resemble Yosemite Sam
after being outwitted by Bugs Bunny.

He tries to project the image
of a dignitary or a rock star,
but he's like a pair of truck nuts
on the tailpipe of a Smart Car. - Jeff Barnes
