Note From a Failed French Hornist

I tried to ply 
    the golden 
French Horn 
when 
I
was 
younger
   I took lessons 
and emptied 
      saliva 
      from 
      it 
I even tried out for 
   the college orchestra 
Don't have my golden French Horn anymore 
Don't have much gold 
   either 
But I love to hear 
       the French horn 
in orchestras 
   and in rock and roll bands 
It is a marvelous 
         instrument 
and I am proud that I 
   tried to play it
