//------------------------------// // Success // Story: Oh, My Dear Octavia // by Toe-walker //------------------------------// More comes to you, who had. You receive, stunned and glad, All that you sought. Royals are also awed. All of the guests applaud What you have wrought. You begin growing rich, Being a wellspring which Gives and regales, Guarding what you have gained, Seeing your rise sustained Through your travails. You obtain wealth and weal And, at long last, you feel Fame and renown, Glamour and dizziness, Sennights of busyness Spent out of town. Many things come your way, Many a popinjay, Experts and freaks. Journalists read your lips, Adjunct professorships Fill up your weeks. Though not a thing comes free, Smiling, you knowingly Do not repent. When after day comes night, You will feel more than right, Sleeping content.
