Hyperbole -- it's not an understatement --  
enjoyed exaggeration to the fullest,  
demanding no reduction or abatement  
in any measure where she was the coolest,  
or deemed herself to be, at any rate,  
insisting that her monologues be heard,  
and rumored to be growing quite irate  
when losing the attention of the herd,  
but nonetheless continuing to prattle,  
since as we know from history and books,  
persistence's half the key to any battle,  
the other half, some do believe, is looks,  
so she went on and on, beyond the end,  
though surely just exactly as she's planned.
