Know all

He feels he's an expert on technology, science, politics and football
And some of those who know him refer to him as 'know all'
And on any given subject he claims his knowledge is profound
And he fancies himself the cleverest for miles and miles around.

He never researches his information and sometimes he's made to look a clown
For when he talks on some subjects his stories seem upside down
And he's often felt embarrassed when in his exaggerations he has been found out
But that's what happens when one talks on subjects that one doesn't know much about.

He is not the clever fellow that he makes himself out to be
He is just a local know all with an average memory
And though he comes across as clever to the gullible 'twould seem
In reality he is one who has a low sense of self esteem.

When it comes to socializing he is one who is not shy
And 'empty vessels make the most noise' to him certainly apply
At the pub on saturday evening his loud voice you always hear
And his volume raise a little after every glass of beer.

He is one who craves attention and his reputation locally has grown
As a rather empty vessel who likes to make himself known
And he talks on every subject from politics to football
And some like to refer to him by his nickname of 'Know All'.
