Yup

Get over yourself I was told
so I got out my pogo stick from when I was young
it was dirty and rusty and I had to service it
I did this till it shone
Yet I couldn't get over me
Some odd reason I was always there

Get over yourself I was told
so I made a ramp at the bottom of a hill
then rode at it like my life was on the line
But I didn't get over myself
just got a bruised spine

Get over yourself I was told
so I ran away to the circus
became an acrobat
but that didn't work

Get over yourself I was told
Then I became the human cannonball
and huge crowds came
but I didn't get over myself
Yet it wasn't from a lack of trying that was to blame

Get over yourself I was told
So I went to university
and studied aeronautics
and engineering
and when I get my degrees I built a plane
but it did not work

Get over yourself I was told
and the thought struck me
It was so obvious
I'll make a rocket
AND still that didn't work

Get over yourself I was told
So I asked the man on the street
I asked the lady in the shop and the rabbi in the synagogue
I asked the librarian, the fry chef, the priest, the buddhist monk
the town idiot, the town drunk, the local pro
and they all laughed and told me to get over yourself

Get over yourself I was told
and I thought
I can jump puddles
but I can't jump over myself
even though I have tried
and then the answer i espied
BLOCKED!

Constructive criticism welcome.
Destructive criticism to be left at a public toilet.
