Fame And Fortune, Hopes And Dreams Poem by David Whalen

Especially Not to Me

Fortune is fickle
Fame's but a dream it seems...and
Luck favors no one in particular
No matter how much one dreams

That one can beat the system
That one can come out ahead
That that lottery ticket will take them
Entirely out of the red

Just ain't likely to happen dude
Unless the stars align
So lose that hapless` attitude
before you lose your mind

Don't lose the dream
just don't let it seem
The most important thing
That could possibly be

Luck and fame are fickle things
Like lightning strikes you see
Not very likely to happen to you
...And especially not to me...
