Notes About The Poem

My middle name Anglicized is 'Sam.' ~ Gershon Shmuel Itzkowicz

Real-Life True Story

   Once I wrote a really good poem
      My teacher wrote

   ‘Lightning doesn’t strike twice, Sam’
      A 'D' in the course spurred my belated reply ~
                                 ‘I know, ma’am’

Well you were told Gerson, but things and 'poems' have excelled dramatically. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
