“A man who says he's tamed the river oughta watch it don't rise come mornin'.”

Full of himself, like a rooster who takes credit for the dawn.

Acting more important than she really is.

All show, no substance. Talks the part, can't back it up.

So cocky he can show off without even moving.

Believes she's the greatest thing that ever happened.

Nose so high in the air the rain would pour right in.
