Success

What’s your top tip to be successful in life?

Success is such a pleasurable word,

Sounds a bit French, a Bon Accord,

But like a wasp it has a nasty bite,

And has given many a terrible fright,

A secret password to get by the guards,

Turns into  dreams broken into shards

In  a dungeon far from home,

Penniless unloved and all alone

You wonder where it all went wrong ,

You won Eurovision with a tuneless song.

You were the life and soul of every party

You smiled and pretended to be very hearty,

All the time  you worried about the end

Till eventually it drove you around the bend.

Is there a lesson, I’m afraid not…..

Perhaps no one is ever happy with what they’ve

got.
