Encomium is a Holy Premium

If your appreciation is lavish,

And the receiver is eligible,

It is like giving water to a fish,

The impression will be indelible,

 If you are so peevishly selfish,

You won't praise the capable,

Kind mind is never blind,

Mankind wants it behind,

Refined souls aren't fined,

Dear friend, please take my advice,

Appreciate whenever it is possible,

Honest praising is definitely nice,

There, when good things are visible,

Your duty is to with sincerity praise,

He who praises not is only insensible!
