Holier Than Thou Poem by Francis Duggan

Of holier than thou people I've had my bellyfull
One might say they do talk a whole lot of bull
They do feel superior in their own smug way
It does take all kinds as some are known to say
What we dislike in others in our own selves we do see
And with that sort of thinking one has to agree
If to some you look up to on others you look down
That is how life appears to the snobs of the town
And if they sneer at a pauper and to a royal bow
You must make allowance for them they are holier than thou
They want the World to know of how marvellous they are
But from their Hometown few of them travel far
That all are mere mortals that point they do miss
Such ignorant people but ignorance can be bliss.
