There is nothing, of course, that succeeds like success,
Or so the illustrious ones have imparted.
But it leaves a few questions, I have to confess,
To be asked by a guy who would like to get started.

That nothing on this earth succeeds like success
Is the dictum of those filled with wisdom and knowing.
But the MEANS of succeeding remains, thus, a guess
To this yet unsuccessful who’d like to get going!

I’ve enjoyed some success, in the world of outside;
But at home, there is nothing but hisses.
Yes, you may be giant folks point to with pride–
But what are you, pray, to the Mrs.?

I’ve enjoyed some success in the world of
outside;
But at home I’ve encountered some hisses.
You may be a lion folks point to with pride–
But what are you, pray, to the Mrs.?
