More Mildred Mimicry ("Hajj" Tamale)

Sing "Ho!" for the poet Ali ("Hajj") Tamale! 
His papa's mestizo; his mama's Somali. 
His nemesis...? Mono-. (His  poetry's poly-)*:
the poet Ali ("Hajj") Tamale. 

*Though the subjects of his verse 
are varied, his primary antagonist

"Hajj"'s madrigals, models of meter and rhyme

are revered by both rustics and royals, by golly! 
Plu-poet Ali ("Hajj") Tamale. 

Tres beau be plu-poet Ali ("Hajj") Tamale,

Plays a didgeridoo does the musicial "Hajj." 
Toots a flute -- TWO flutes, nu...? -- in a sonic collage.

does "Alific'onado" Tamale. 

*Swift and Mahal
