Ten-Word Contest Entry
Perspicuous and famous was the Law from Sir Newton:
“All massive objects have a tendency to gravitate”.
But as later discovered by the malignant Rasputin,
(Capricious and crude, inurbane and lewd, pleasured in people to alienate),
There’s a truth more profound and not yet disproven:
“Fame and fortune are transitory and are likely to dissipate”.
So no matter how much they may flatter or care,
Here’s some rules that may help to keep you afloat:
Watch your back, keep aware, try to act debonair,
And always be looking for a potential scapegoat!
