Title: An Ode To Leo

When you first appeared,
you were not known.
And from the saddle,
you were thrown.

It cost you much,
this I know.
But you took it well,
blow by blow.

This Boy's Life,
seemed like a Growing Pain.
But I understand,
and don't disdain.

A Total Eclipse,
fell upon you.
And sure enough,
the line went through.

"What's Eating you?",
most would ask.
But you took in stride,
the most menial task.

Your foes you struck down,
like The Quick and The Dead.
And thus happy,
you went to bed.

When the time arose,
you boarded the Titanic.
But even this,
you found erratic.

As it sunk,
you did jump clear.
And toppled all those,
you held so dear.

You soon found terror,
within The Mask.
Because for you,
it was no easy task.

But triumph it,
you did.
And of The Mask,
you were soon rid.

Before you knew it,
you were a Celebrity.
And success, just then,
sure was the key.

Yet as life goes on,
you soon do see.
That it's not,
an easy cup of tea.

But do not fret,
for all is within your reach.
And you just may realize,
that life, is indeed, The Beach!!!!
