The Gods Are Against Him

So much of his time and effort has been wasted 'twould seem
And his lack of success bad for his self esteem
The glory he dreamed of to him never came
And he remains anonmyous due to his lack of fame.

The gods are against him some even would say
And lady luck from him she has turned away
And that he is not appreciated for his art
It does seem to weigh heavily on his heart.

His paintings on wildlife to me seem so good
Of the animals and birds of the hedgerow and wood
And though visually his art seems quite good enough
That he cannot even sell one canvas on him must be tough.

As a very fine artist he is not recognized
And that he is not very famous I for one feel surprised
But only in his late twenties he still seems quite young
And his praises may yet be deservedly sung.
