Dumb within
A soldier’s haircut
Woman's skin
Driven children
Swollen tears
Bronze medallion
Wasted years
hot ghost chasers
around track fields
rewarded for catching none
Twenty two moles on a cricket pitch play bingo when it rains. Single no longer to ascertain whether the verb is used or not. Solve a riddle backwards at all times for this will allow grass formations to be presented evenly. Eerie errors egging elements. And a rusted bat. Oh dear. Peel not an eye. And take no crowd on a barge. Enjoying the sunshine and eating a pan of strawberries and cheese. Lovely. Halftime is interesting isn't it? Over octave opuses originally originate. And that is not noted to be salted. Spin then. *** athleticism Z
Form:
Kids are playing in the back
Trying to score something on what they call an attack
Going left to right
Experiencing an aggressive feeling plight
Moving right to left
No need for a flag or a ref
Exercising competing in a fair style
School books on the sidelines in a pile
A goal is earned
Nothing to be concerned
Where do you find class?
Kicking a peaceful pass
Raising a hand having a right answer
Dreaming of curing cancer
A friendly message about raising the bar
By setting something up for the star
Testing an ego if things are going too far
Nobody around
Only the children recreational sound
Being friends
Nothing needs defense
Only an attitude to your best
And a handshake before the rest
Being good
Or doing what you should
Is the priority
In explaining a story
Success can be seen on a lighted board
Maybe after a roast beef dinner and an award
But it truly comes from inside
When it is respected how much one tried
Calling it a game
Giving it a name
Memorizing dates from long ago
And people who were in the know
Planning what to do
Is up to you
Activities that are fun
Can hold a lesson when they are done
Creating a discussion in the classroom where it is worth a ton
I am a lion in the water
A bird struggling in the mud
I'm a horse trapped in the stall
A spider's prelude before the web
A wolf pacing before the hunt
A snail climbing Everest
I am the energy that supersedes the deed
I am the champion of its release
I am the fastest
The strongest
The most industrious
Of all around me
For I know the secret of hesitation
The powerful build-up of intention
I am the moment of singular focus
The third eye that can see beyond the now
I am the goal
I am the athlete
To make it happen
In the moment

history lesson when my friend called the gym teacher an old Nazi ...
What is a man, what is a woman…
solved by the stroke of a pen
The genders now mix, the game has been fixed
