They were so proud when he was born
He'd make the thorn
Of unreached dreams
Recede, it seems.

If he could but a great thing do
It would undo
Obscurity
Humility

So when death claimed their darling prize
They did revise
Their plan for fame
And mongered blame.
An example of what's called "minute poetry". Why this form is called that is an unanswered question.
