His eyes just glare as he stands in line,
'Cause lunch crowds just aren't worth his time.
You glance his way, he squints at you:
Don't you realize he's got cooler things to do?
His vulture-gaze preys on self-worth;
He's been above this crowd since birth.
His voiceless clothes accentuate his face, that face, that poker face
That rolls those brown eyes as he struts from the line,
'Cause none of us are worth his time.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.

I really liked the rhyme scheme and liked the idea behind it. Don't we all know a snob like that...

You're welcome. And if you'd like, you can read my song "Desperate Measures." I never really know if anything of mine is any good, so constructive critisism is welcome :)
