Stirring Reveries

Oft-times I dreamed I'd save the day Victory snatch in a miraculous way A last-second full-court heave Swishing through as opponents grieve Such stirring game-time reveries My private universe, fancy-free Alas, the coach's summons never came ~ Glued to the bench, we lost the game September 17, 2020 My Private Universe Poetry Contest Sponsor: Julia Ward

One of the baseball commentators here in SF often calls your experience "riding the pine." Not a fun ride or fun outcome. But, you did garner a win out of all of those splinters! Congrats and an elbow bump at home plate!

Sorry, getting to the point, can't help with the splinters. Lots of luck with a good pair of tweezers!

Gershon, this is so neat!.... Bless all your little losing souls....! 'Glued to the bench' Your cute memory is causing me to laugh. Love the expression - victory snatch etc. Congratulations, your loss there translated to a Win!
