"Dilemma"
I want to be
famous
so I can be
humble
about being
famous.
What good is my
humility
when I am
stuck
in this
obscurity?
-- David Budbill
A friend of mine sent me this impish poem which she came across in an
anthology titled "Good Poems", edited by Garrison Keillor - a collection of
American poems. For that, I am grateful to her.
Nothing to be said about this poem. Just read it, enjoy it and find yourself
grinning your sheepish, guilty grin :-).
The poet's website can be found at http://www.davidbudbill.com , with a link
to his biography.
Neville.
