One for the ages

Parched we have been for a win

The so close, yet so far days
The practicality of father time

Rotund are the accolades

Unparalleled the count
Yet remains – ‘just this once’

Not one scandalous tale

In the rise to beyond greatness
Of the gentle affable one

In salutation, we applaud

Admiration overfloweth and
We stay, your humble devotees
