The Final Word
Though I wrote
And published
I never found acclaim
Maybe it was fate
Or could it be my name?
Perhaps it was my timing
Could have been my style

Ready to ask St. Peter
If it's not too late...
He listened and he nodded
Said I'm sorry you feel forsaken-
So many came before you
And all the good lines have been taken.
