About This Poem

Tonya Harding



You better think twice

Before skating on Olympic ice

If competing against Tonya Harding

Your knee caps you should be guarding!

    This is quite the special write my friend! I really enjoyed reading this delightful and sombre of a poem this morning! I remember that incident, what a tragic thing to have happen, Tonya sure was mean, I wonder if she has gotten the meanness out of her system now? I bet Nancy is still very mad at her! What a magnificent piece Gwendolen, Great Work!!
