Egocentric Selfishness
An annoying self-excess of an odious process
can definitely express egocentric selfishness
Enervating travesty lends to self-enlarging parody
Condescending haughtiness lends to self-regarding naughtiness
Nauseating crudity lends to self-promoting nudity
Overbearing incandesce lends to self-absorbing effloresce
Patronizing vanity lends to self-centering amity
Saturating dottiness lends to self-displaying snottiness
Maneuvering perfidy lends to self-indulging gaucherie
Irritating arrogance lends to self-appointing insolence
Egocentric selfishness can definitely express
an annoying self-excess of an odious process
