Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Hoya Paranoia

   Trump Derangement Syndrome
     and Hoya Paranoia*

   Both reside in Washington D.C.
     both designed to annoy ya



   _______________________________
   *The Georgetown University basketball
     team's nickname is 'the Hoyas.' The 
     team is known for its 'annoying,' but 
     effective, full-court pressure defense.
     Other teams became paranoid about
     dribbling the ball against them. Hence,
     'Hoya Paranoia.'

John Read December 7, 2024 at 7:26 AM Hi Gershon, hope I'm not annoying you, but can you save me a ticket to your comedy show. Gershon Wolf December 7, 2024 at 8:06 PM No annoyance, John. I've sat you behind a Pole, if that's ok... That's a Polish person (not a pole!). He's a little loud, but what the heck. It's better than my 'comedy!'

Michael Tor December 6, 2024 at 12:26 PM Ha ha ha love your comparison to the two Gershon. You had me laughing on this one. I appreciate the explanation at the bottom. I had an idea of the Hoya Paranoia but your side note reinforced and educated me fully on the meaning. It was a wonderful comparison, thanks for the laughter my friend. Next I will be seeing you perform Stand up comedy. Can I get in half price for knowing you at the comedy club? lol.
