Lets Face It Poem by Francis Duggan

Lets face it all cannot be winners for one to win many must lose
And success it never can be bought for the price of a bottle of booze
Success it does never come cheaply the big World out there a rat race
In life there is always some challenge and each day a new challenge to face,
Lets face it all cannot be winners though sour is the taste of defeat
The winners they bask in the glory and winning is always so sweet
The champion team is celebrated though some tell you 'tis only a game
And to them go all of the plaudits and they know of the glory and fame,
Lets face it winners are remembered the others we tend to forget
The one who would swap first place for second is the one that I have never met
The loud applause is for the winner that's how 'tis and 'twill always be
The others are quickly forgotten and they quickly fade from memory
But lets face it not all can be winners suppose such is life one might say
The winner is always remembered the loser forgotten in a day.
