It Is Said

It is said poets are born and poets are rare
And not many poets in the big world out there
But many poetasters themselves self promote
And in reference to self always use the word poet,
But if they overestimate temselves with me that's okay
Though self praise is no praise the wise one does say
They are flattered when others their praises do sing
And to their dreams of immortality they fondly do cling
To any individual I don't mean to be rude
But in our own self importance ourselves we delude
A strange thing the ego or so it does seem
And though at times we do need a boost to our self esteem
When referring to self poet I never do use
As such a beautiful word I've no right to abuse.
