Today's word is "humblebrag" ... huhm-buh l-brag ... a statement intended as a boast or brag but disguised by a humble apology, complaint, etc. (dictionary.com)
Tedious
"Oh! It is so tiresome,
Toting bundles everywhere,
Over mountains, streams and plains,
To see the world, without a care."
"I would take my servant too,
If he didn't talk so much,
As it is, I'll do the work myself,
As I see the sights and such."
The humblebrag went on and on,
Heedless of his reputation,
And the eyes that rolled in heads,
When he spoke about vacation!
