POOR HEROES

POOR HEROES
Achilles and Hector and all of the
crowd
Of heroes who lived long ago
With unflinching valor were richly
endowed
AS all fans Of the Had know.
But when the renown they achieved
was far flung
Their chance to improve it had fled
Though Homer their praises has tune

1t wasn't until they were dead.

Which ought to have made him well

The tales of the wars he had won
Till the gallant young warrior had
fought his last fight
And his life was quite over and
done.
Although heroes We're thick in olym-
plan days,
They toiled almost solely for fame
For no one around there was versed
in the ways
OF the good old publicity game.
The battles they fought and the jour-
neys they made
Brought them plenty of fun, to be
sure,
But no sense of their value in cash
they displayed
And beyond any doubt they died
poor.
Today We're such heroes as these to
be found
And the safes in their Hollywood
homes would abound
With the stuff that is termed the
long green.
Too bad that they died in the long
time ago
That they left the half civilized

Before Bigger Business had taught
them to know
