Success is surely
....................so seldom in number.
Five hundred verses
.............though not seen as great
Is some achievement
.......................which I now venture
To note and admit
....................makes me celebrate.
Getting there proved
........................... a marathon effort
With mountainous rejects
.................................... to relegate
Though just a few appear
............................ worthy of status
I still feel determined
.................................. to celebrate.
