Flattery

My mother told me to always be nice Over the years I climbed the ladder twice To get to the top you must drop and stop Complementing people putting on pedestals Flattery will get you where you want to be An art I have developed over a half a century I will let you in on my secret sin from within I look around for my victim not to long to wait If I know you I will smile with a mention of hair style If I don’t I will humble with a little stumble of mine I will say it is a pleasure this day so glad to meet hurrah Complements flying sometimes a bunch of lies always compromised
