Old Saw, New Perspective
Lips were custom made
to the mouthpiece of one's horn
None other labra will fit.
To make unique noise,
for this you were born.
Your song can’t be played
with the same pitch or poise.
Unless you stand up, shoulders back,
and in confident fortissimo toot it.
We all are tuned for excellence.
Designed to harmonize together.
Universe suffers dissonance.
If one hides their music forever.
The climb to consonance begins
when one mounts that first stair
Take your seat, learn from the Master.
And one day you’ll earn that first chair.

Author's Note
I have never been adept at bragging on myself. Now that I am a job seeker it's my duty. I wrote this piece to enthuse and inspire myself and other's with the same self-sales flaw to starting tooting our horns.

Dear GW,
Spot on assessment. If you don’t toot for yourself no one will toot for you. 🤗 I also very much admired the gentle rhyming format. This was an extremely clever metaphor for life and getting along. Wonderful piece full of charm and hope and great musical references. H🌷

Ohh BB 🐻🌟🐻!! I agree with bt, there's loads to toot!!(damn I looove that word, toot) You're a superstar, BB. I love the feeling of hopefulness, self awareness and possibility, here. You know you have glorious strengths that shine brighter than the sun and it's only a matter of time until the right ones /company see what we all see! Our big hearted, brilliantly talented GW. Who's a great asset and an even better person, all around. Anyone or company should be so lucky!!!
