Those Who Can Laugh At Themselves Poem by Francis Duggan

Those who can laugh at themselves have become a rare breed
And more of their sort in the World we do need
They never do take themselves too seriously
A good sense of humor is in them naturally
With them you need not choose the words that you do say
As they are not over sensitive in any way
Other people in their words they would never wish to offend
One who can laugh at him or herself would be good to have as a friend
Such people are never in a position of great power
Though as an individual he or she does bloom like a beautiful flower
The self centred and power hungry never laugh at themselves and seldom do laugh at all
Their outlook on life to say the least seems small
But those who can laugh at themselves to say the least seem few
And in saying they are great is not saying anything that is new.
