I'M Not A Literary Expert

I'm not a literary expert with degrees for to show And what is good or bad poetry I wouldn't even know The poets who only write of self to poesy are not true And credit should be given to where credit it is due So much mutual admiration in the Writers Clubs of today That I will praise you since you praised me is seen as quite okay But if truthful criticism can be cause for offence Then not to be a member of a Writers Club perhaps make better sense 'Tis easy for to praise one but the truth's another thing For the praises of the ordinary are not that hard to sing But then suppose we all need recognition and we all wish to be liked and known And everyone is different and to each their own I'm not a literary critic nor for my opinion none does pay And what's good or bad poetry is not for me to say.
