I know Failure Street, two blocks south of Success Boulevard,

From Failure St. you travel north and cross Stability Avenue

To get to the fast lanes of Success, but no one stays on Success Street forever.

You see all the residential areas are along Stability Avenue,

Failure Street and in the slums of Pittsville,

When I travel Failure Street I oft visit muddy Pity Street

It is Main drag for the town of Pittsville where I wallow,

And after a few I rise and saunter three blocks north,

Most people know these pathways in the city called Life.

(I was inspired by Owain's poem, "Failure," and I wrote this in a comment.)
