Accolades

Praiseupon prolific praise

Heapedup to the hilt,

Anavalanche of accolades

Fallingfrom the sky.

Amaraschino cherry topping

Moundsof whipping cream,

Ticklesof a Ferris wheel

Twentystories high.

 

Beatthe drum for all who come

Tosing their heroes praise.

Shinethe subtle spotlight

Onthe golden haloed hair.

Tellthe hallowed haunting tale

Thatled to paths of glory,

Trialsand tribulations overcome

Toget to there.

 

Willyou find it difficult

Acceptingtributes prize?

Haveyou earned the worshiping

Reflectedin their eyes?

Weare but mere mortals

Actingout our escapades,

Hopingto be worthy

Ofaccepting accolades.
