Humble Pie - Buzzwords

" Those who serve arrogance as their main course
    will eat humble pie for dessert. " ~~~
                                                       Frank. K. Sonnenberg.


Humble Pie can be sweet
Or it can be tart.
It's down to our attitude when we eat
And take the lessons to heart.

Either way, it's good for us!
It keeps us in our place.
A bit like meds, unpleasant at first,
But a change is seen in our face.

A better side of our self shines out
And it makes others smile.
For the good of our personality
We must eat of it once in a while.
