Second Chance

O, Judges...

Don't be too hasty in showing me the door;
I know it feels as though I'm a bore.

So many times I've played out of tune,
but I've been practicing since June.

I have nothing to pay my house bills;
yelling from my landlord kills.

The last job I really tried;
in frozen Alaska I almost died.

Please, give me another chance,
I prove to you my musical grace.....
