Id have to write a new subclass that combined the functionality of both of your subclasses, the whole point of decorator is to not have to do that. your example is not a decorator, what you describe is basic inheritance, according to the GoF a decorator “attaches additional responbilities dynamically”, yours does not do that, what if I wanted to both append and lowercase the text?
