Recipe For Fame
A Recipe for Fame
One day I decided
to become famous for a time
my fame was secluded
to my friends and my world
and I soaked up my fame
for as long as it lasted
and when it was gone, I fasted
to wait for another chance
to be in the right place
at the right time
and to do the right thing
I could become more famous
but I choose to do so at my own pace
to know my place in the scheme of life
For fame is best served
one bite at a time
to savor each morsel
and when it is fleeting
to wait for awhile
for another meeting
