L Milton Hankins Poet Quintilla

A Mother's Pride

The finest voice on the Broadway stage
Cannot compete with a mother’s squawl
When her son catches the winning ball,
Sending the winning team on a rampage,
Causing the losing team to feel outrage.

Caren Krutsinger July 31, 2021 at 7:04 PM Oh, yes the ultimate squawl! Love this word, so appropriate! L Milton Hankins July 31, 2021 at 7:18 PM LOL. You have my permission to use it. I'll be looking for it. You know, truthfully, I don't think it's a real word, although I've heard it all my life.
