Perfect in every way

There’s a song sung by Mac Davis. It starts Oh Lord, It’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way. https://youtu.be/dg8NPPEms54

People always looked up to Fred. Ask anyone. Well, actually, the person you could ask about that would be Fred. Fred was the kind of person that only thought about himself. Everyone else that didn’t agree with him was wrong. 

He was in his comfort zone when he was followed by people who fawned upon him. I’m sure you know people like that. 

Laughter was his out. He would laugh it off and belittle that person or idea when he couldn’t think of anything positive to say. Thinking positive of others was not his strong point.

Some people say that Fred graduated from the University of Ineptitude with honors. 

Fred’s strength was in numbers. The more he could convince people to follow him, the more powerful he became. 

Everything that Fred attempted to do, according to him, he was the best at. 

There were those who knew Fred and were confused about why he was so popular. On the other hand, even though they knew in their hearts that he was wrong, most of the time, they followed his teachings and supported him anyway, hoping that someday it would rub off on them and they would be as loved as it seemed the people around Fred were with him. 

Fred had high aspirations and there came a time when things weren’t going so well for him. His goal was to be a giant. Which is why he went on that sailing cruise to parts unknown. He figured he could find a place inhabited by those who would bow to his every whim. 

The last I heard, he found such a place. I never would have guessed that the fictional Island of Lilliput was real. 

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
