Half as Much

Half as Much

Half as much is royalty

Of how important I think me.

No fair mistake is overlooked.

I guess my ego’s overcooked.

Pretentious with the service here

I let them know that it’s quite clear

If anything is gone awry,

I’ll throw a tantrum, scream, and cry.

Would it not, more pleasant be,

If I, in soft humility,

Just offered up in quiet peace

And made instead, myself the least?
