POMPOUS AND OLD FASHIONED

POMPOUS AND OLD FASHIONED

What can that mean?

Or is it your perception of the cover of the magazine?

Then maybe see behind the cover

I could be your friend or lover

Not a figure of self-importance

For instance how can you say that I am pretentious?

Showy, haughty, or ostentatious

When all you see is a figure, a figment of your imagination

There is nothing grandiose about me at all

Within these magnificent walls is an adorned, adored

Old fashioned little creature

Who loves to be loved

Cherished, wooed the old fashioned way

Caring, sharing

The giver without the receiving

So whilst I look at you looking at me

I see so much behind your exteriors

Nothing portenous, snobbish or exaggerated

You are just like me in some ways

But then again we may differ

But is that so important?

We are after all human

Unique, outstanding

Unquestionably incontestable
