Fame - Overated

Fame is overrated More important is the love of family and friends One should never kill oneself going after money One should never kill oneself going after fame I boast about my poetic acheivements yet I probably won't win the Nobel Prize It would be nice It also might be nice to walk on the moon Doubt these things will happen But wait a minute - maybe these two things will happen HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL

Matt: When you get to the moon, stand the Apollo 11 flag up. They said the other night, it blew over when they took off. It's a shame if we spent billions and the flag is laying in the dust. As for getting a Nobel, that's probably a long shot. Keep writing and sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

Matthew, I like something to pop up unexpectedly in a poem. In this one it was this part to me. "It also might be nice to walk on the moon " Enjoyed it much.
