The Ex Humble One Poem by Francis Duggan

The ex humble one to success heights did soar
And he is not so humble anymore
His new found fame has gone straight to his head
That's what his ex friend Eddy of him said.

I'm only quoting what young Eddy say
From his once best mates 'twould seem he's turned away
He has forged new friendships with the wealthy few
Amazing what a change of luck can do.

Eddy says he's not the bloke I thought I knew
And to his own true feelings he's now true
In sticking by old mates he sees no gain
And further success for himself he now attain.

His former mates he no longer wish to know
And apart from them he has only seemed to grow
One well might say he is where he wishes to be
Mixing with the cream of high society.

The ex humble one his true colours he now show
He worked under a boss just a few years ago
But now he directs his own company
And there is none so arrogant as he
