Panjandrum ... Great

Today's word is "panjandrum" ... pan-JAN-druh-m ... a self-important or pretentious official. (Dictionary.com)

Great
In the light of day,
The panjandrum holds sway,
Pronouncing all that's good,
Seen in his own way.

Never worrying,
About the small man near,
Or what he may be thinking,
Or what he holds most dear.

From his fearsome height,
It's difficult to see,
Far beneath the clouds,
Where he used to be.
