Pride Goeth

Nick was good at the steeple chase
he thought of himself as an ace.
But he became too proud
and in front of a crowd
fell forlornly flat on his face.

Thank you, Jan. I think the steeple chase is an English race. Hence, you probably know more about it than I do. * * * I hope all is well with you and your loved ones. hugs x x x
