The Distinguished Gentleman's Lesser Ability

                    "Take that, rock!," yelled the sea as it pummeled the boulder mercilessly.

Well, he'd always been regarded with a certain amount of awe
A golden child, a golden teen and then platinum as an adult
No witness could be found who had ever seen him sweat
Every move he ever made always produced the predicted result

He was regarded by all as either very lucky or incredibly good
He always said the words that you always wish you could

Until the day came when he found himself on the losing side
Found himself on the losing side

Life hadn't prepared him for such a downturn in his fortunes
When the accounts were emptied and the good life went belly up
It took everything he had to get used to living on meager portions
Now he spends his days trying to repair all that was broken
