Captain Ego Poem by Kevin Patrick

Captain Ego

Rating: 5.0


It's a turd! It's a braggart
It's a narcissistic blowhard
Here's a hero whose as shallow
As his muscles are as hollow
Here Comes CAPTAIN EGO! ! !



Soaring through the air of hubristic motion
Vanities his strength, he wields with fine devotion
His greatest superpower is his banal personality
Self-infatuation is his red kryptonite Vitality
Its Captain Ego!

He can bend an insult to internal adoration
And drown in beneath the praise without suffocation
He can lift a building, but only if you gape
Or crush an armored tank, if you drool beneath his cape


He can never save child, from a burning building
Or stop a plane from crashing, or an oil tanker spilling
But he'll take applause with a titanic sense of pride
The stature of his Arrogance is his loving bride

Look out everyone for Captain Ego Comes
His humility spares no expense bar none
If you want a hero who can talk about himself
Captain Ego Calls from the halls of his toy shelf

He cant save the world,
but he's is own pearl
He doesn't need a villain
when his smirk does all the killing

So look out folks when Captain Ego Calls

It is scary to know that many such Captain Egos are lurking around with their arrogance all over the world.
