Ask One Poem by Francis Duggan

Since I am one without a literary degree
Who is or is not a good writer ask one other than me
On who is or is not a good writer literary critics do have their say
And for their literary opinions receive a good pay
I only believe that you may be an amateur writer and for your writing never get paid
That you too are of value to the wordsmith trade
Since in writing as in all things for one to win big others have to lose
Though losing is a thing anyone does not choose
What has always been will always be the same
Not everyone born to life to know of wealth and fame
There are far more losers than winners in the World every day
And sadly for many life works in this way
Who is or is not a good writer why do you ask me
Ask the literary critic with the literary degree.
