You sing your own praises as you drink your fill <br />Suppose you may as well do since none other will <br />Sing of your praises their own praises they sing <br />Self praise that was frowned on is now the in thing. <br /> <br />You sing your own praises others you may impress <br />When you tell them about your life's latest success <br />Of your job promotion and your brand new car <br />Only you know yourself of how marvellous you are. <br /> <br />You sing your own praises your own self promote <br />And some may even see you as one worthy of note <br />Self praise is back in fashion sing your own praises loud <br />Though some may look on you as self conceited and proud. <br /> <br />You sing your own praises for you may as well <br />Since others they have their own stories to tell <br />That to sing your own praises is vain some believe is not true <br />So you may as well give yourself credit since you feel 'tis your due.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-sing-your-own-praises/
