THERE IS NO REWARD FOR
FAILURE
There is no reward for
failure,
You will not be
regarded
As one to win.
No gold medal, no blue
or red ribbon,
You’ll settle for the
yellow.
The awarding of the
trophy goes to the
Other fellow. You pick
your number
To win the lotto.
You wish and hope,
Deep in your soul
you’ll get a check,
Or a pot of gold.
You didn’t win the race
because you were
Off the pace. You
didn’t even place! There
Will be no
championships or interviews for
You.
Your luck has slipped
to a low.
A few days ago you
Almost won in
Bingo.
Almost isn’t cool, so
stay in school
And learn the rules
Or
You’ll be a goner.
