P is for Prat

Pious Peter paged Peggy with his printer problem. Peggy put paper in the printer. Penelope pointed out that Peter was pathetic. “Paper is a primary problem. Any plebe can put paper in a printer.” Practical Peggy paltry attention. A psychic reading was pending.



Priya the psychic took Peggy's palm. “Peter is a prat,” she said.



Peggy peered over a pince-nez, probing Priya.



“Peter is prone to posturing and pedantics.



“Pedantic prats are a pestilence. Putting power in their palms is a problem. But pathetic people are permitted a path to peace provided they put posturing aside.”

[behold pathetic people and stop posturing, though of course these people rarely know who they are, so never mind]
