Earth's Ambassador
trudging up the stairs to the dais
he knew what was waiting......
grains of sand, heated then
blown into spheres shaped like
his friend, Gaia, perched on
loving hands carved from Mulga
Wood (they knew his favorite tree)
grimly, he looked out upon the
hushed audience, hoping to be
reassured.....
suddenly, the stage collapsed!
......from overuse, they later said,
everyone ignoring the warning
signs....
too many awards
too many speeches
too little time....
* Tribute to a 'Real American Hero' from Minnesota...Will Steger
