Forget Father's Day

(In a slumping economy, Success has many fathers)


I built it,
But they did not come.
The grand opening,
Announced it's demise.
Twenty years by twelve
Blood, sweat and tear-letting hours
To dig a dot-common grave.

Oh, they'll heap praise upon
The entrepreneurs upon whom
Corporate bounty falls.
But will they pause, or think at all,
To toll one mournful bell
On he who tried but fortune stalled,
On he who sunk a dried-up well,
On he banished from glutted Father's Day,
On he the father of the orphan brave.


"Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan!"- folk wisdom
