Soon to be famous: Jane Austen (16)

Soon to be famous: Jane Austen
1
I have met a special lady with a talent fine and rare
With a genius for fiction that is way beyond compare
Her name is Miss Jane Austen; she’s just 21 years old
With a gift that is so precious it stands out like it was gold

She is currently un-published, but with time on her side
That could easily be ruined if she becomes a fool’s bride
But if Jane continues writing she will certainly reach the top
With a book bearing her name found in every good book shop

Chorus
Jane Austen is a writer
With the wisdom of Plato
One day she will be famous -
She deserves to be you know

Jane understands how ethics
Lead the way to a good act
She’s a wonderful creator
Beyond compare in fact

2
I have read some of her fiction in a manuscript of old
She creates moral dilemmas for her characters to solve
The challenge is compelling; yet within the grasp of those
With a fraction of the virtues she has scattered in her prose



I suppose this makes Jane Austen the wisest of the lot
To have this deep knowledge of her characters and plot
Just to capture every weakness as it plays its rotten hand
And the virtuous solutions to the problems life has planned

Chorus
Jane Austen is a writer
With the wisdom of Plato
One day she will be famous -
She deserves to be you know

Jane understands how ethics
Lead the way to a good act
She’s a wonderful creator
Beyond compare in fact

The End
