We talk about ourselves in ways
which could be said to brag,
and yet polite receptance,
is most that will be had.
But sometimes it is icy,
and then we surely know,
that boastfulness is rudeness;
our words in ego grown.
Polite;
adjective: Having or showing behavior that is respectful and considerate of
other people; of or relating to people who regard themselves as more cultured
and refined than others.
