You Have Told Me So Often Poem by Francis Duggan

You have told me so often of how marvelous you are
And of the size of your house and the size of your car
And of your wonderful children and your beautiful wife
And of your amazing job and your successful life
So good to see you so happy with your success but nonetheless it does seem
That you need to tell me of your successes tells me of your latent sense of low self esteem
You secretly question your self worth that's how it seems to be
At least anyhow this is how it seems to me
That you only like to talk of yourself does seem obviously clear
And mostly the same stories from you i do hear
Like your great job and the size of your house and your car
And of your beautiful wife and wonderful children and of how marvelous you are
There are many like you i meet them every day
Though self praise is no praise as the wise one did say.
