Once the most arrogant stranger I met
And he kept annoying me such a lot
He said that on the whole globe, he bet
My little island is not less than a little dot
Everything to him appeared very little
Even our sea for him was just only a lake
Let me now tell you of another example
One day an apple to observe he did take
“The fruits are so tiny here,” thus he said
“Where I live, they are bigger ten times ”
At night a crab I tossed in his bed well made
And finally waited to answer him in his rimes…
He screamed when got pinched on the knee
And I told him that this animal we call… a flea

It was really a funny poem. From the title, I guessed whom you are talking from. And it was also an allegory to reproach arrogant people. I can’t ignore the good flow and rhyme spice as well.
Thank you for entering in my contest and good luck to you in the contest :-)
