Leave It To Others Poem by Francis Duggan

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.
