If At First

A would-be poet wrote a Sonnet,
With few brains under her bonnet,
She tried and miserably failed.
She picked up her pen,
And tried once again
this time her persistence prevailed.

Well, she believed if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I agree with her. I'm a believer. I think if you try to do something long enough and hard enough, you will eventually succeed.
