Dilemma -- David Budbill

Guest poem submitted by Neville Clemens :
(Poem #1752) Dilemma
 I want to be
         famous
 so I can be
         humble
 about being
         famous.

 What good is my
         humility
 when I am
         stuck
 in this
         obscurity?
-- David Budbill
A friend of mine sent me this impish poem which she came across in  an
anthology titled "Good Poems", edited by Garrison Keillor - a collection of
American poems. For that, I am grateful to her.

Nothing to be said about this poem. Just read it, enjoy it and find yourself
grinning your sheepish, guilty grin :-).

The poet's website can be found at http://www.davidbudbill.com , with a link
to his biography.
