Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

In the Hall of Distinction

In the Hall of Distinction, they do gather to boast
   The Lion ascends first, he with the most
impressive of roars, fails to convince the host
   in the Hall of Distinction...

Up springs Brother Bear, he of the mighty growl
   with matching countenance of fiercest scowl
yet he disappoints too, waves the white towel
   in the Hall of Distinction...

Is there no creature fit to reign over all
   no Inspiration to be found in the hall --
or only those who bellow before their downfall
   in the Hall of Distinction...
