Be Original

The chap about to do a solo
Is proud of wearing a polo;
Facsimile of the one worn by another fellow
To whom he has already wired ‘A Humbling Hello’
That I should remember for being ‘Hopelessly Hollow’…

Only if he could his forehead furrow
And into a long brooding burrow,
He would some more classic trumpet blow
And in its notes glow,
His confidence causing to grow
And mean to never go down low
While trying to with the others flow.

Dear Chinedum, a gallant effort that rhymes well. The first stanza is perfect, both FOR your theme/topic and FOR being understood (by slow me) shalom, shalom
