[#141: Grade] Original Poetry: 'Made The Grade'
Title: 'Made The Grade'
Fandom: Original Poetry
Characters/Pairings: Original
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Notes: Crossposted toficlet_zone
Summary: You know that you have finally made the grade when you make it on the nightly news
You know that you have finally made the grade when you make it on the nightly news
But be careful that how you do it doesn't leave you down in the mouth with the blues
Fame might last for a brief fifteen minutes, but your conscience always pays the price
If the way that you get that fame doesn't leave you particularly smelling sweet and nice
There are rules that you have got to play by, and you've simply got to play them right
Because earning other peoples' contempt will not ever once help you to fall asleep at night
