As Mark Twain said, all ideas are second
either conciously or
Oscar Wilde put it way,
Imitation is the form of flattery
that mediocrity can pay to

Whatever you call it, there's no other way to learn craft
than by others
Ask Bob Dylan about Woody Guthrie or Beyonce Tina Turner

a lot of Gordan Lightfoot in songs, congratulations
You're correct, he was the my mediocrity tried to emulate

It wasn't until four ago that I really got to thinking

Thank You and I will pass it on
