Frank’s Friend

The life of Ernest Ness was quite a mess
He tried his best but never met the mark
So full of cleverness but nonetheless
He always seemed to blunder in the dark
Redundant but without a single doubt
His job was lost but not the things he knew
At last he gave a shout he’d worked it out
And suddenly his skies were clear and blue
But industry’s obscene not fresh and green
Still there was one who saw what he was worth
A letter from the Queen said she had seen
His ideas could be used to save the Earth
His earnestness would earn a great reward
She Knighted Ernest Ness with silver sword
Author notes
The prompt was earnestness, only rhyme, have fun. I think I got all three in
