Poetic blogging

Well I was doing ever so well in December. I was writing a blog every day for a good... oh all right, only 5 days. That's not actually that impressive is it.
I was impressed with myself at the time. I was all 'look at me writing a blog consistently. I wonder if I will write one every day for the whole of the month of December?'
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Or in my case, puny. Oh how the puny have fallen. Is it not worse if a puny person falls than a mighty person? We are less hardy and more likely to snap a brittle bone or two. I suppose it is more shocking if a mighty person falls. With puny people, it's a wonder they can move about. But the saying isn't 'Oh how the puny can walk about unaided, which is the exact reverse, and therefore should have as shocking an impact as when the mighty fall.'
I think all of my reasoning is flawed.
Or would it be 'Oh how the puny have risen?' That's more poetic.
Still flawed reasoning, I just can't let go of this idea.
If I ever become successful, people will say 'Oh how the puny have risen.' And I won't have to worry about them saying 'Oh how the mighty have fallen' if there is a backlash, because people will say, 'No, don't you remember? She was puny to begin with? It's shocking she ever got anywhere. She's returning to her rightful place. This is an instance of "Oh how the puny return to whence they came, where they should have stayed all along"' And the other person will say, 'Oh, the circle of life. It's a bit like that Elton John meets the Bible.'
That is what they will say.
