Too much pride can often lead to one's own demise.
There once was a boy named Greg,
who could only hop on one leg,
he could go pretty fast,
as long as he could last,
until one day he slipped on an egg,

the fall hurt Greg pretty bad,
but his will remained ironclad,
he got back to his feet,
was offered a seat,
but kept going and got kind of mad,

he started back up in last place,
he could not accept that as the case,
he hopped as fast as he could,
in fact faster then he should,
and fell right back on his face.
