The Freedom To...

Yodel

I would,
if I could do it well.
It would be another skill
in the market place

or in the lobby
of a hotel
where I would wow
the new arrivals

and impress The Management
who would (probably)
hire me to be
the resident yodeller.

I regret not asking
that Swiss girl
for lessons.
She taught me a lot.

What? That
would be telling.
Suffice to say:
it wasn't yodelling.
