You May Well Tell Others

You may well tell others the good things about you
But self praise is no praise remains ever true
Just leave it to others to say of how great you are
Of how on the social ladder you have climbed quite far
In the twenty first century self promotion does seem an in thing
So many their own praises only too willing to sing
Of their personal successes only too willing to share
The humble of mind are becoming quite rare
Of their sort of a few i feel privileged to know
The people who do have the bright inner glow
Of self and their lives they have little to say
Though to help other people they go out of their way
So many their own praises only too willing to sing
Nowadays self promotion it is an in thing.
