Rocco D’Ambrosca: 10/17/2005
My origins are broadly disputed
But I have been widely in use,
over the past century and,
will continue to be for many to come.
I have been called by many,
the voice of a generation.
I come in many colors,
although red and black are most common.
I have had many variations,
but have always had at least two major ones.
I am crafted by carpenters with caring caress.
I have mostly been made of wood,
although many dispute which grain is best.
I have also always had metal riddled through me.
Many metal bars are melded across my face.
I also have metal that spans across my length.
Tellers of tall tales have used me to tell their tales.
I have always been known as a teller of tales.
