QUETTA

Her name was Quetta
a girl of only eight years
who would spread all around her
both laughter and tears.

She was the greatest sensation
on TV to date.
Prime time was hers
and would determine her fate.

Millions of viewers
every saturday night
followed Quetta
with thrill and delight.

Quick on the button
and smarter than most
she answered all questions
from the TV show host.

But as Quetta grew older
all the people lost awe
it was no longer impressive
she wasn't a child any more.

In her last TV appearance
she said thanks and then cried
and then the people forgot her
heartbroken she died
