THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
asks us to use the words
"naughty tactic zenith"
HOW ARE THE MIGHTY.......
'How are the mighty fallen?';
We hear that every day,
When athletes struggle to achieve
And, forthwith, lose their way.
They have used every tactic
To reach the very top;
Clawing their way to supreme success,
But they don't know when to stop.
Not content with being famous,
And, indeed, a household name;
Not content with being the best
At their particular game,
They are tempted by money
Or some other glittering prize,
And they decide to be naughty,
Cheating and telling lies.
Illegal betting entices them,
With its offer of bags of cash;
They only see the glitter of gold,
And lose everything in a flash.
Right at the zenith of their career
They throw everything away,
Hanging their heads in public,
Not knowing what to say.
So, for all their prestige
And their athletic gains,
Maybe they need to exercise
Their rather meagre brains!

ENIGMA
What lies behind
The half-drawn blind,
Making shades of dark and light?
I only know
The gentle glow
Seems, artistically, just right.
