Chutzpah
Some people have audacity
with foolish confidence.
They obviate sagacity
with utter impudence.
Some people have imparity
with chronic recommence.
They typify vulgarity
with utter impudence.
Some people have stupidity
with arrant insolence.
They exhibit rigidity
with utter impudence.
Some people have insanity
with crazy recompense.
They embody inanity
with utter impudence.
Some people have temerity
with bogus innocence.
They manifest asperity
with utter impudence.
