She was zooming down the hillside.
The wind blew through her hair.
Gliding through the pure-white snow,
in the bitter-cold night air.

But she would learn, but way too late,
that she was just a fool!

Another  *Suzy Chaffee, 
she thought that...

The Statute of Limitation Has Run Out

By Elton Camp

Most have things in their past
That present life could blast
Whose life’s an open book
So to welcome a close look?

We hope none will ever learn
Things our name could burn
What we did way back when
And wouldn’t ever do again

How does a mom feed her triplets?
By getting some kinda griplet

You want to give up, before you even begin, 
Undoing your thoughts on the target;
Not because it isn’t an exceptional idea-
But you ‘believe’ it doesn’t measure up to you.
So…
Do you measure up to unlucky fate? 
Do you measure up to stagnation?
Do you measure up to...

my best bet know my limitations
won't fall victim...

I had three poems
- Short ones-
And was told where to stand
To read them
My time was limited
Only time to read the bare words
No time for introductions,

Can't tie shoes. Can't read aloud. Can't memorize Latin.
IQ test. Panic. Shyness. Confidence goes missing.

"Grab your guns. Prepare for the invasion."
Terror...
