How totally true, especially of those who claim to be open minded liberals. Their minds are very open... but only to the echo of their own thoughts. Thanks for the chuckle.

    Thank you! :-) In politics, I have to agree since I am only socially liberal and Republican the rest of the way, but in relationships, political affiliation doesn't seem to matter. I appreciate your six stars so much, and thank you for your comments. Hugs.

    I got the gist of your poem. It just made me think of all the petty things people find to make an issue of. My husband and I after 42 years still have some of them but at least we agree on how to hang the toilet paper. Hope to read more of your poetry.

This is sooo funny. I've known a few self centered guys in my time and that makes it even more humorous. Its funny and not funny because it's so true to life. Thank you for sharing. :)

"Why Aren't You Me?", is rather strange piece. To me this is open to several interpretations. I think your next will be more than a little interesting.

In the Celestine Prophesy Workbook it goes into detail about how people can steal each other's energy. One way is to constantly interrogate. I might not even sound like abuse. Just asking? I love the end where the narcissist shows their true colors. Well done.

    Perhaps that explains why I slept a full eight hours last night and then just woke up from a four hour nap. Maybe? thank you for your review, comments, and the term "Celestine prophecy. "Got a look that one up to. :-) Hugs and blessings.

    This book reads like a 6th grader wrote it. James said he was just writing a story. There are other forces involved here. This helped to change my life.
    The one I was referring to is called the Celestine Prophesy an Experiential
    Guide. There are free pdf's for that too.

    I actually get a free subscription to the library of Congress audiobook thing because I'm blind. And? It's actually in there! I already downloaded it. I'm going to read it next. :-) I download it three books by the same guy, all connected.

There's something special about a person who knows--and shows--how unique they are. Whether it's an eccentric sense of lifestyle or a mind full of unusual ideas. You have said it all here. Loved your poem. Thanks for sharing!

Oh boy! Satirical, even humorous...but with dark undertones...

Perhaps because reading this is so reminiscent of the "conversations" I had with my first husband...

Before I left him.

After all, no one could have ever loved him the way he loved himself!

    That is definitely an impossible relationship. But yet, so often we try to make them work. Thank you so much for your comments and review. Hugs.

There is much intolerance here and compromise is something some people just don't understand. Selfishness destroys relationships, a poignant write Leann, love Dolly x

Wickedly clever rat-a-tat-tat of argumentative/rhetorical queries by the self-absorbed dick--indeed, he should haven't inflicted himself on a wife. Delectably dark humor!

Love the finish to this, "I'm in love with me, I think I'm grand, and when I can I hold my hand" heh heh, it sounds a little like that. It's so nice to read a nice laid back piece like this on a Sunday morn day, no stress with this one. Skilfully and cleverly written ans rhymed, well done, blessings Roy

I really enjoyed this poem.

This satirical work is well composed and both humorous and serious at the same time.

Thanks for.sharong, well presented.
