Leave It To Others

When I tell you what I think you go off in a huff Only few can write poetry anyone can pen stuff You tell everyone you are a great poet though that should not be for you to say You should leave it to others to praise you it sounds better that way Self praise it is no praise happens to be true But what we receive from life perhaps 'tis our due And when I do say that poets are only few I am not saying anything that is new Out of millions of writers only a small percentage make the grade But everyone needed in the Wordsmith trade The poems that you write do not seem great to me Though others I'm sure would see it differently Leave it to others to praise you it sounds better that way But when I say that you don't like what I say.
