Praise May Be Your Due

Praise may be your due since of late you have done well But the side affects of this is your ego does swell And since it makes you feel superior to the humble kind A swollen ego is not good for the mind It is a truism that has often been said That too much praise can go to one's head The admiring kind big egos create And some peoples egos are not hard to inflate That too much praise is not good for you is not a lie In the swollen ego humility does die And for the state of the mind this is not a good thing Though this is what happens when many your praises does sing And though of late you have enjoyed a lot of success Too much praise for the mind is not good nonetheless.
