THE CONCEITED MAN When )'ou find a man conceited, IF' onder not, bUI "1.1' J. thiJ well, That his mind bas ceased to funelum, Alld his bead's begu11 In swell. When he yearns for praise and glory And his mighty deeds rehearse, It's a sign his head is swelling, Bul his mind's slipped in relene. W hen he boasts of his religion. Based on platitudes and show, It's because his head's expanded, But his mind has ceased to grow. W hen he thinks himself dictator, Certain he'll not meet defeat, Don't forget his bead is swollen, And his m;'ld is in retreat. W hen the mind has ceased its growing We no longer can compel Admiration for achievements, So our head begins to swell.
