Points That Count

Wow! What a great move!
He fakes them out of their shoes!
Fifty points tonight...
Yeah, my son, 'the superstar'

Our first obligation is at home but sometimes children lose their way to the neon signs of this world. Great poem dear Gershon.

Ha, ha. None of my three sons played football. One played basketball, but the poem's not about him. He is nice to his mom! :) gw
