Today's word is "bovarism" ... BOH-vuh-riz-uhm ... an exaggerated, especially glamorized, estimate of oneself; conceit.
Illusion
Such a smiling presence,
So sure and confident,
Nothing shakes his countenance,
That's just how he's bent,
His bovarism shining,
Everywhere he goes,
A touch of true sincerity,
From his words will flow.
It's hard not to be taken in,
By his smooth manner bold,
All promises are guaranteed,
His thoughts as good as gold.
But sometimes a chink appears,
In his armor strong,
And on more than one occasion,
He's been proven to be wrong.
