A Diamond In the Rough

The diamond in the rough My Sweet little bathroom singer, Every song on tip of his finger, Sang to melody each lyric, howsoever tough, Shine of A diamond in the rough ! Overlooked studies, paper and pen, Singing his passion, sang every now and then, To the parents' much annoyance, But Never did he lose his buoyance ! Today he stands on grand stage, Life has turned to the golden page, Enthrals jam packed audience, No one can escape the effulgence ! Time can scrub the toughest of tough, Glitters the most, my diamond once in the rough ! Written on 23/6/14 Contest- A Diamond in the rough Sponsor- Gail Angel Doyle

Dear Dr. Upma, Adore this funny poem! Guess I'm not the only one who confines singing to the bathroom. My sister once overheard me and later said, "You were trying to sound bad, right?" LOL Glad your "diamond" had a better outcome. Best wishes for success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
