Leave It To Others

No need to tell me of how marvellous you are
Or of the importance of your job or the size of your car
Your successful existence does seem to suit you fine
Though what is your business is no business of mine
Without asking of you me you seem so willing to tell
Of how financially you are doing extremely well
Your teenage son and daughter the best private school does attend
And you do not have one poor person as a friend
Your wife drives the new B M W you bought her for her thirty fifth birthday
And you say bigger things for you not that far away
Though you told me without asking of your latest success
I do wish you more of the same nonetheless
But words of advice to you leave it to others your praises to sing
Though humility nowadays does seem a rare thing.
