You Take Yourself Far Too Seriously Poem by Francis Duggan

At midnight this evening today will be gone
We age by the minute and time ticking on
On how long you will live there is no guarantee
You take yourself far too seriously is how you seem to me
When you talk of of your great job and your brand new car
You give this impression of how important you are
But you have had not a good laugh for quite awhile
And you never do find it easy to smile
You tell everyone of your wonderful life
Of your lovely children and your beautiful wife
You are self absorbed in your personal success
And others you do try so hard to impress
But that many find you boring you fail to realize
And this in itself is not any surprise.
