Who had mastered the Liberal Arts

This is a poem about a guy named Herb

Whom no one ever could disturb,

Until one touched his vanity

Then gone was all urbanity

And with it too went all the show

Of that rare peace he seemed to know

When those about him sat in awe,

Not so when he heard a guffaw,

Or even sensed that one suspected

A truth that he had resurrected

The while he taught humility

To others with agility

If only they'd admit it --

But then he won't permit it!
