Puck Muck

Higgs was a hockey player built like a truck
he was mean, obscene, and had plenty of pluck.
Other players called him Klutz
declaring they hated his guts
thus he advised them he didn't give a puck.

Thank you, PD. Your comment sends my ego skyward, coming as it does from the author of "Indian Ink," designated for this site as one of the "Top 100 Poems of All Time." Your numerous other poems are similarly magnificent. hugs x x x

ha ha ha:-) you could always tell folks to pluck off Paul. To be honest I would prefer one of my own poems to be on the best rather than the collaboration... but at least the spot on the list is shared by many other poets so I guess it is a good thing. I can't believe how i have embraced poetry as i HATED it at school I found it so boring as all I remember is war poetry. I have now been blessed by an angel here and given a lifetime membership I hope I am around for many years to come:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you, Jan. My ego is enlarged yet again--your "At the Footbridge," a collaboration, is on the Top 100 list; and your inventory of countless other magnificent poems is exhaustive. * * * I should note one must take care to avoid typos when posting a poem such as "Puck Muck" (:). hugs x x x
