Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Tom Brady's Back

~ Limerick Style ~

At an age when most men are watching their stomachs grow
Tom Brady had second thoughts about hanging up his cleats, and so
   He simply unretired
   And instantly inspired
Legions of balding, middle-aged men to chuck a few passes
                                                       ~ and sprain their right elbow



_______________________________________________________
Tom Brady is the Greatest American football quarterback of all-time.
He has led his teams to a record 7 Super Bowl Championships. Last 
month, at age 44, he came within a couple of whiskers of doing it again.
He's also tall, dark and handsome; married to super-model, Gisele 
Bundchen; and has a brilliant future in whatever arena he chooses
to enter -- after he wins another Super Bowl next February, that is!

Debra L Brown March 15, 2022 at 4:24 PM Hi! Gershon, I enjoyed your humor. I hope he doesn't injury himself in the process. Nicely written. Blessing ~ Debra

John Lawless March 15, 2022 at 2:38 PM Let's just hope he doesn't stay too long at the fair as many aging athletes have done

John Watt March 15, 2022 at 1:26 PM Love him or hate him, there's really no counter argument to him being the GOAT, with all the championships, the come-from-behind victories, the records, the longevity, and so on. I'm personally not a fan, but I AM a fan on one Gershon Wolf who has written yet another witty and insightful poem, here. Standing O!

Ilene Bauer March 15, 2022 at 12:10 PM a fine, well-written tribute with the perfect touch of humor, gershon!

Rico Leffanta March 15, 2022 at 11:43 AM I hear he is a taskmaster who values excellence over friendship, but it seems he does not ask more of others than he asks of himself, living proof that one can always do more than one thinks one can do! Nice write, Gershon! Aloha!

Kenneth Cheney March 15, 2022 at 8:09 AM Being a Patriots fan I affectionately refer to him as Tommy traitor. The best QB I ever watched play. Focused and executed week after week. Amazing to watch.

Judy Ball March 15, 2022 at 1:49 AM A fine tribute to a man you obviously admire my friend. I'm sure he would be pleased if he read this. God Bless, JB
