Nando's Challenge Poem John Davies

                                                  FAME

Fame and fortune,

a gift all humans dream of tasting.

But the time of trying for it is most inopportune,

For while many may try many shall fail.

Amazement at first success,

The first blossom of their career.

They need be level-headed nevertheless,

But at the moment they just cheer.

Middle and pinnacle of their career,

They now need to prepare for downfall.

Now they have to be ready for no more cheer,

Finally it is now the beginning of their last call.

End has slowly, finally come,

But as expected no stopping this derailed boxcar.

They now feel incredibly glum,

Their name, the crowds once favoured, blinks out like a dying star.
