Notes About The Poem

flipping baseball cards
in the flippin' school yard
pictures up, stats down
Drysdale, Koufax, Mantle, Spahn
or vice versa all around

retirement income source lost on the playground...

Gem mint PSA 10 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle baseball card, may well be worth $10 million.

I just started a new ebook on Wattpad entitled Childhood Memories - poetry that reveals the exciting, joyful, energetic, passionate, blissful, raging and painful childhood experiences of Baby Boomers in the 1950's, `60s and early `70s. 

At least, that's what I think it will do.

Sad remembrance resonates with every signed mortgage check that I've made, Aloha William
