Congratulations, Thomas, on having your well-written poem featured this week. It brought back memories of my high school quarter-back who led our school to 33 victories in a row before a referee miscalled a touchdown and we lost. (The miscall was caught on film...but film wasn't used way back when... to determine calls.) He spoke as demonstrated in your poem. Thanks for sharing. Dane Ann
