Self Important People

Their own personal success stories even with strangers to them they do share
Self important people are and were never rare
For to meet their sort i never go out of my way
Though i do happen to meet a few every day
Although they do not know me they tell me their stories of their recent success
Which makes it obvious that me they are out to impress
One must listen to thunder as the wise one does say
With some i do meet it has to be this way
The humble quiet achievers only in the few
And this in itself is not anything that is new
In the twenty first century self promotion has become the in thing
Far too many their own praises only too willing to sing
Their egos quite swollen from their own self conceit
The people i would feel happy for not to meet.
