No one knows my name,
For years, been the same,
Perhaps I’ve no standing.
Look me straight, none will,
Because materially, I’ve nil,
And yet I ask for nothing.

Ah, already tried my best,
Came up short in this contest,
Set for me is the last position.
It’s not easy to understand,
Why I never have the upper hand,
Be in a premium situation.

No idea when I can have it changed,
Hopefully, way ‘fore I’m deranged,
So will continue working hard.
Have to keep my mind sound,
Eye on the crown ---
Imperfections, I’ll surely discard.
