Feat of Clay
There’s not a lot that one can say
About the singer Otis Clay.
He’s not a major star, instead he
Forged a lifework, long and steady.
And though it didn’t make him rich,
His music filled a modest niche.
He had some hits (far down the charts),
But still, admiring counterparts
Voted to include his name
In Memphis’s Blues Hall of Fame.
Envoi
Persevere and do not grumble,
Even if your career is humble.
