Only Winners Poem by Francis Duggan

Only winners the masses do wish to recall
In sports as in life the winner takes all
And though losing is a thing anyone does not choose
For one for to win someone else has to lose
There are winners and losers in life every day
This is how it is for life is this way
For the winner the glory the money and praise
And winners their personal status do raise
The winners are grinners as some like to say
And for the winner there is always a loud hip hooray
There are winners in life and winners in sport
In the football stadium or the tennis court
For the loser disappointment for the winner the joy
A fact of life that i did learn as a boy.
