Hubris
Hubris leads to Nemesis, or so the ancients said,
But do we have to listen? The ancient Greeks are dead.
Today we have a saying as far, as I recall
That, if you are not careful, pride comes before a fall.
So we must not be pompous and should beware our pride
For it makes us careless. That cannot be denied!
Even on the golf course, when you hit a super shot,
You should not be bumptious the next one could be rot!
The lesson is, be humble and never, ever proud
Do not seek to stand out. Be happy in the crowd.
Of course that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try your best,
But never boast that you might be a cut above the rest!
