Threatened by someone,
For any reason,
Yet again, as always,
The latest sacrifice to his ego.
He pretends to be friendly
While surreptitiously making plans
To remove the offensive interloper,
Bane of his existence,
Pretender to the throne.
Tilting back in his chair,
He smiles to himself,
Admiring his own cleverness,
His natural ability to
Beat them all,
Vanquish imagined adversaries.
