with this poem:
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4552833

Winner will please PIF 300 points of their treasure.

I am an enthusiastic people watcher. One of the attitudes that I notice the most is pomposity. I would like to know what you feel about this. Take it where you will.

Any form, any style.
If you submit a pre-write, please be sure it fits the prompt.
Please, no epics.
Have fun!
