Some egos are paper thin,

Easily torn by the slightest push.

To disagree is a deadly sin,

Guaranteed to bruise the tush.

Just like Disney’s favorite duck,

Their tantrums are often quite inane.

And sometimes when they act like schmucks,

Their words can often bring you pain.

If you’re that someone who’s insecure,

I’ve some advice you’re sure to ignore.

Step one: Ask yourself, “Am I an expert?”

Step two: Realize the answer is likely no.

Step three: Try to be an introvert,

In other words, quit acting like a joe blow.

Step four: Next ask, “Am I being a jackass?”

Step five: Understand the answer is yes.

Step six: Quit treating others like second-class,

Step seven: Take a breath, decompress.

Step eight: Back up off that keyboard, dear,

And get the hell up out of here.
