They say pride goeth before the fall
I don’t know if that’s true at all
One thing I know that’s very clear
Humiliation is always near
There’s nothing like a healthy diet
To impress a prospective client
He left with lasting memories
Of the spinach stuck between my teeth
We hugged, we laughed, and we reminisced
And claimed the other looked the same
I would have enjoyed our reunion more
If I could have remembered her name
The screen was dark and the mouse was dead
But it wasn’t panic that turned me red
I called IT and they rushed to begin
Solving the problem by plugging it in
They smiled and nodded as I walked past
But it didn’t take long for my ego to crash
It wasn’t me they were happy to view
But what was stuck to the bottom of my shoe
It’s hard to be humbled by life’s little jokes
But sometimes my pride needs a little poke
To deflate my ego and keep it small
And hopefully keep me from that fall
