ADD TO MY FAVORITES
To know that you're Number One
For I’ll never concede
That anyone else’s need
Will never impede
My will to succeed.
I have great capacity
For rapacity.
For if I hear that others aspire,
I set my goals higher
To ensure that their success
Turns out to be less
Than whatever I achieve.
Because I believe
That my every goal
Should be the sole
Focus for the whole
Universe!
Just think what could be worse
Than coming second,
When you’d reckoned
That others’ efforts could only fail
Or pale
Into insignificance
Without any chance
When compared to you
And anything you do?
Does all this seem
A little too extreme?
But why shouldn’t I covet
When I love it
So much
Coveting has such
Appeal to my desire
To acquire
Whatever I see
Because I know it should all belong to me.
And when it comes to food
I try not to be rude,
But my hot-button
Is to enjoy being a glutton!
It helps to be well-planned
With an overloaded plate in each hand!
I recommend that everybody should try it
Especially those who find that one diet
Is totally misconstrued -
Because it doesn’t allow for enough food!!!

And made my knees buckle
It's so out of synch
That it caused me to think
Poet Noel, not Laureate
Though neither I've ever met
Yet I note signs of merriment
In your little experiment
You tried to wax lyrical
And left me hysterical!
Thanks for brightening up my day.
I wonder what poetic form this is? Maybe Iambic Mitaxameter?
