make your mark
a sad day at cnbc
longtime anchor mark haines we’ll no longer see
well-respected and loved for his direct wit
he certainly left a mark, a 22-year run hit
i drew parallel of day spent at the conservatoire
caught oboe final exam recitals, music to boire
the candidates getting marked
the time has come for them to spark
et moi, what marks have i made, how is my life score?
jill of various trades, mistress of none to roar
making blog soliloquies, my spirit to nurse when sore
what a bore, perhaps in another dimension soar
but i can truly say, i gave to the world my authentic core
