Though Nowadays Self Promotion Poem by Francis Duggan

Though nowadays self promotion does seem the in thing
It would be best to leave others your praises to sing
For self praise is no praise does ring ever true
To whoever first coined that phrase credit is due
Though some into self promotion do know of success
The boaster the gullible often does impress
That action speaks louder than words does not always apply
Why this has to be one has to wonder why?
So compassionate and caring in her own way
Kind Annie she does some good deeds every day
She helps her poor elderly neighbours without asking for pay
But of how marvellous she is you will not hear her say
Yet she is not even well known in her side of the town
Perhaps humility never does win one renown.
