Walking the Straight-And-Narrow

5.0 grade-point on a 4.0 scale Climbed Mt. Everest, the 'icy trail' His summer job was 'Director of Sales' This straight male applied early to Yale Puerto Rican knockout with Eskimo mother Non-binary female and transgender lover Active in flash mobs, landed three months in jail Now back on the streets, thanks to 'No Cash Bail' Our 'Yalie' got rejected, 'Why' is the question Since our flash-mobber got into Harvard An accomplished bank-robber, else she'd have starved While our erstwhile 'Yalie' cleaned rooms at the Westin All's well that ends well, my folks always say 'Yalie's' gender-confused now ~ I think that I shall pray

The tipping point at the top of Everest…Everest is ruthless and will kill the best. The flash-mobber—bank-robber can yield dividends in the lowest valley. Still, there is one that is far above Everest who will even the score. The earth’s plans last but a moment but God’s mercy and grace lasts forever. Be blessed, Gershon!
