(woman seen in El Coto, Durham on 13.02.2015.)
This one was nothing like the opera star,
When she piled into the restaurant, mouth hanging ajar,
Spilling out her verbal garbage so you could hear it from afar,
No, this one was a gobshite,
Whose intellect was ultra light,
But her narcissism shone bright
On her companion acolyte.
She sat down and started noisily doing her thing
Loudly and vacuously blethering
Looking round to see if anyone was listening,
But no one in there adored
Her performance, we were sooooooo bored,
We could have put our heads down and snored
She failed to get us on board.
Why do people like this woman make a fuss
A huge show off performance for the rest of us,
Noise without much interest, it’s so tedious?
But they will insist
On plying for attention lest a chance is missed
To create endless noise, be it shouted or hissed,
To demonstrate the fact that they’re a narcissist.
