Cock Of The Walk Poem by Sidi Mahtrow

Cock of the Walk

You've seen then everywhere.
"I'm the greatest - I swear".
Prancing about on two legs or more
To enhance sight (or restore) .

Important beyond all others
He (or she) has no druthers
For presence of mind
Is what's intended - in like kind.

Head held high and shoulders back
A physical presence that others lack.
To let the lesser ones know
"I'm here, get on with the show! "

**
Popular in times past,
I can make a list that will not last,
For other names quickly appear
Like the sun rises - Oh, so clear.

But on life's "cock-walk" for show
The main character fails to know
Into the stewing pot he'll surely go.
While others wait for their chance to "blow".
