How To Write Like Largo
#4
Yeah, me too.
Since I couldn't find a likely 'Largo' reference, I went with "overblown", as it fits the irony.
If this is what's intended, you should change the title; either to a generic one or to a
specific name that's readily identifiable. I much prefer the former, as the latter route,
depending on the audience, can suffer the same fate that "Largo" (may) have suffered here.

But... even if I'd known who "Largo the Pompous Character" was, there's not enough parodic
deviation in the repetition of the mythological/religious/philosophical/new age/etc. stereotypes
to hold my interest.

Though I did like the incongruous "deep shit" in the second stanza. If there was one such
diversion (two at most) per stanza (they might be anachronistic or thematic ones instead),
that might make it more fun.

Or...

I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about but was sincerely trying to help Smile
