Word of the Day – Ostentatious

He brushed his teeth for seven straight minutes

Took another fifteen on his hair,

Making sure every strand was perfectly in place

Exfoliated and moisturized his face

Disguising the blemishes with concealer

Tied a tight tie

Spit-shined his shoes

And, after two hours of primping and priming

Head to work

He was merely a garbage man

But his ostentatious nature wouldn’t allow him to leave the house 

Without ensuring that he would be noticed
