Megaceph, chosen to serve the State <br />In the halls of legislative debate, <br />One day with his credentials came <br />To the capitol's door and announced his name. <br />The doorkeeper looked, with a comical twist <br />Of the face, at the eminent egotist, <br />And said: 'Go away, for we settle here <br />All manner of questions, knotty and queer, <br />And we cannot have, when the speaker demands <br />To know how every member stands, <br />A man who to all things under the sky <br />Assents by eternally voting 'I.''<br /><br />Ambrose Bierce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/egotist-2/
