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!

"He simply unretired" - he just could not do it. As another one who cannot imagine being retired, I get Brady.

Hi! Gershon, I enjoyed your humor. I hope he doesn't injury himself in the process. Nicely written. Blessing ~ Debra

Let's just hope he doesn't stay too long at the fair as many aging athletes have done

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!

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!

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.
