Considering himself quite the thing, He thought from his barstool to sing. But others thought not, The praise that he got Was less than a crow choir could bring.

He asked those seated for a request - But all he received was “give it a rest” - He said “I know that song”- “Please all do sing along” - In that moment he felt truly blessed……… He started to sing and he got jeered - His eyes then filled up in floods of tears - Couldn’t sing anymore - So he ran out the door - And he wasn’t seen again for years…… Beryl
