You May Have A New Home Poem by Francis Duggan

You may have a new home and a brand new car
But leave it to others to say of how marvelous you are
For self praise is no praise as the wise one does say
But you are one who does not see it in this way
You boast of your clever children and your beautiful wife
The gems in the crown of your wonderful life
With you self promotion is quite an in thing
Just one of those who their own praises do love to sing
Your sort of person i for one cannot admire
Of listening to those into self praise i quickly do tire
Too much of self love into narcissism does grow
You are not one of those who has the inner glow
To meet your sort i never go out of my way
And i feel glad i do not meet you every day.
