22. Selfishness

by Debra White



Selfish is as selfish does
and you 'do' selfish well.
As long as you are 'alright, Jack',
all else can go to hell.


 




Selfish - Devoted to, or caring for only oneself (dictionary.com)

'I'm alright, Jack' - The notion of self-centred complacency. Being satisfied, or happy with one's circumstances and thus unconcerned with anyone else's. (idioms.thefreedictionary.com)
