I am a liitle nobody

I am a little nobody

AMBITION is my name

My success in life is little
In success I wish to gain

I am a little nobody

I sit night after night alone

Thinking and scraping for words
To make a verse of my very own

I am a little nobody

And that is how I’ll stay

If somebody doesn’t give money
For my poem songs or plays

A notice in the paper

In small print appeared today

DIED OF GREED AND AMBITION

Who…a little nobody so they say.
