Compensation

 

His voice had a distinctive timbre, not to all tastes, however he could use his voice very well in singing many musical styles. -- Wikipedia 


Pears had a timbre

   Both peculiar and striking,

Not golden or amber,

   Or to everyone’s liking;


But you’ll grow to expect 

  That distinction abounds,

When you learn to accept

  His quite curious sounds.
