A GREAT GUY I KNEW Feb 19th, 2012
BY
I’m sorry to say this now but he was once a great friend of mine,
Till they gave him stripes and at first everything seemed normal and fine,
But he was one of those guys who seriously changed with rank,
As though he was up there somewhere beside god, to be quite frank.
Or as though he was an aristocrat and you were just common,
Though like me, he too came from a small town County Roscommon,
Which made his pompous delusions of grandeur hurt all the more,
Words not spoken now as though we were never friends before.
Why is it that some people, when given rank, become quite aloof?
Full of themselves; which tends to emphasize their stupidity as proof,
Is this what happens to dictators over in the Middle East?
Were they once normal till they got rank and began to feast?
