Born Not

Though every writer needed in the Wordsmith Trade It is said about poets that they are born not made How much truth is in this i for one cannot say A fellow with rhyme words who does like to play The novelists, the playwrights and journalists as well The lexicographers, historians as well as the scribblers of doggerel Have one thing in common they are writers all Though not many writers have their names inscribed on the literary memorial wall The successful writers only in the few But then this is not saying anything that is new And many writers who aspired to greatness when they were young Have only known of disappointment and died poor and unsung And only the chosen few the literary fans see fit to celebrate Suppose every writer cannot be looked on as famous and great.
