You May Be Quite Popular Poem by Francis Duggan

You may be quite popular but why otherwise pretend
That everyone wishes for to have you as a friend
The words of a wise person i do recall
You may well win many but you cannot win them all
It is true of the most popular person in the town
That there are a few to put her or him verbally down
You may have many friends for to give you your due
But that everyone does not love you happens for to be true
And suppose in itself this is not a bad thing
How egotistical you might become if everyone your praises did sing
You are very popular as most would agree
But not everyone does love you is how it seems to be
You may well be the most popular person in the town
But there are a few in their words trying for to drag you down.
