Quite A Good Thing Poem by Francis Duggan

You may be quite excellent at what you are known for to do
But remember there is always one as good if not better than you
And though for what you are good at credit to you is due
I only tell you of what i know to be true
That you ought to leave it to others your praises for to sing
A bit of humility indeed can be quite a good thing
Though many of them not big on life's Worldly views
Their sort every day do make headline news
People into self promotion in quite a big way
On their worth they always have plenty for to say
The one who does not crave wealth and fame is one i admire
Since of those who sing their own praises i quickly do tire
And though many their own praise do like to sing
A little humility can be quite a good thing.
