Humble Humor
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
When you’re perfect in every way
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
‘cos I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
O Lord it’s hard to be humble
But I’m doing the best that I can
–Mac Davis, It’s Hard to Be Humble
Next week we’ll have a whole new executive branch, and all I can say is that I hope the newcomers heed the satirical warnings of country singer Mac Davis. As we all know, power and humility mix the same way oil and water do, i.e., they don’t mix. Let’s hope that the new administration’s promise of change includes a heavy dose of humble humor — and a reluctance to overstep governmental boundaries.
