In this circle does squat,
a horribly boorish goat
A pompous little twat;
nay worth a sully groat
Full of gossip and deceit,
who thinks himself a fox
I say, 'Fie!', Sirrah Conceit
On thee I curse, a pox!

Simply Capital!
This poem has a wonderful, classical feel to it. I commend you for using many words rarely written or uttered in the U.S. - boorish, sully, groat, fie and sirrah. (I kept up with you but "sirrah" sent me to the online dictionary. lol) If I didn't know better, I'd think you transported yourself here from Victorian England. Jolly good work!

Don't know why I didn't notice the new comments on here before now, but...
Thanks, Mark!
"sirrah" was actually inspired by a historical romance novel that I had recently read. {chuckle} The woman in the story wasn't too pleased with the person she addressed, either.
And "groat" is such a fun word, everyone should use it!
Thanks again for your comment! (...Sorry it took me so long to respond.)

I daresay this hurt as much as a swat upside the head, I believe I felt the air swoosh by and was compelled to duck from something not even aimed for me!

Would You?

Just teasing.
But yeah, I was a bit miffed at the time, so I just had to let it out. Better to do so with poetry, than across the person's head. [grin]
