How Marvellous You Are

You have told me so often of how marvellous you are And of on the ladder of success of how you have climbed far But self praise is no praise as the wise one does say A saying of the past that is relevant today Self promotion nowadays it does seem an in thing And so many their own praises only willing to sing People like you nowadays not of the few And this is not saying anything that is new People like you when the big egos meet For attention with each other like to compete The stories of their successes with others they love to share The humble and quiet achievers are becoming more rare I am just one of many you wish to impress With your stories of self and your recent success But in this age of self promotion there are many like you Who believe that the World without them could not do.
