Rookie

Hi, I’m coming to do this now,
I think I’m ready to learn just how
This show is run.

Show me the ropes,
Everything we hope
To get done.

I’m new, I’m bold,
One day, I will lead.
But today, I’m a mould,
And your word I will heed.

Tell me what to do,
I want to help you.
Have I misunderstood?
Am I no good?

I’m new, unpolished,
Waiting to shine.
For now, I’ll need your help,
I hope you don’t mind.

You may see my gall,
But I don’t mean to be rough,
I’m just committed to the plan.

I’ll give you my all
But if it isn’t enough,
I’m sorry, but that’s the best I can.
