Just Me and Simone Biles

Another contest
  despaired of my fate

So down and depressed 
  threw up what I ate

Just me and Simone Biles
  'cept for 'one or two traits...'

I'd plumb forgotten
  how my pen thinks

By the time I remembered
  I'd run out of ink

So, Simone, my dear
  we've lots in common

We both lost our grip
  ~ then hit rock bottom

Hello Gershon ... the pressure put on these young talented athletes can at times too hard to bear. I hope Simone finds her way back, and you too of course Gershon - Lindsay
