Top Ten

One, two
always be true
to yourself in whatever 
you do
even if your fans and 
friends are few.

Three, four
open your door
to recieve the poor
...be sure you'll have 
more.

Five, six
never you mix
with the folks that are 
full of tricks
... They will break your 
blessed bricks.
 
Seven, eight
do not hesitate
to let down your bait
... to get enough fishes in 
your plate.

Nine, ten
like Daniel in the den
you may be enslaved by 
envious pen
...you will a member of the 
top ten.
