CBC TO ME
SATURDAY HNIC
IS NOW GONE SADLY
An old hockey stick
Cut off the broken bottom
Tennis ball affixed
A first grader said
“Looks like a thing-a-ma-jig
What do you call it?”
"Black mark remover
Is the name it’s been given"
"That is a cool name"
(You, custodians
Know exactly what it is
And what it is for)
Red light
Shining bright
Such the sight
Twirling bright
After a toothless fight
Sticks and pucks
What's a Canuck?
Many asked
Listening to the Islander perform winning tasks
Potvin was the man
In demand
Waiting for John Sterling’s winning command
“Islander Goal, Islander Goal”
Coming from the ice that was cold
Trophy lifted, five times in a row
While Rangers bowl
Throwing strikes
John Sterling manned WMCA’s mike
Replacing Simone
Who was hanging up his phone
Wanting to hear
Nassau Veteran’s cheer
Near
Hofstra where the Jets train
And never complained
Since Broadway Joe
Headed to a Hollywood show
Knees were saying, “time to go”
Sadly, Stanley Cup was too violent for regular routine TV
And that is why we appreciate John Sterling’s decree
When Trottier did his thing
And Chico was the goalie King
Who was there?
John Sterling’s enthusiastic flair
Bringing victories home
For those alone
Enjoying the Cinco mayo championship run
Entertaining and fun
The score was even, nine to nine.
Coach said they were doing just fine.
The Ref tripped and fell,
released a fierce yell,
"Stick that puck where the sun don't shine!"

HOPE IT GOES CANADA‘S WAY
BEAT USA EH
I thought,
"What would your father do?"
And I tasted the result
Copper and Wintergreen.
Bruises and Broken Teeth.
And in its wake
I am left an addict.
Six meetings in and craving
my own blood,
wondering if always avoiding
someone or something
lets it keep the same
control.
Water,
Humble and kind,
Washes away poor's shelters,
The fearful vibrations of fate,
A doom.
In Edmonton’s chill, where the faithful stand,
Calvin cheers loud with a firebrand.
From Gretzky’s grace to Messier’s might,
He’s lived and breathed each game night.
He knows the legends—Kurri, Fuhr, Coffey—
Their names like verses in hockey’s poetry.
Now it's Connor, blazing past the pack,
And Draisaitl keeping defenders back.
With Bouchard’s blast and Skinner’s saves,
Calvin stands tall through losses and waves.
The past and present fuel his pride—
The Oilers' fire, alive inside.
A fan for life, through highs and lows,
He bleeds orange and blue—everyone knows.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” ? Wayne Gretzky”
Where courage sleeps, and doubt begins to bloom,
There stands a chance, unseen, unheard, unknown.
A fleeting moment, poised to meet its doom,
Unless brave hands reach out and claim its own.
For in the realm of dreams, where shadows play,
And whispered fears may hold ambition fast,
A single shot, though missed, can light the way,
A lesson learned, a challenge bravely cast.
So let not trepidation hold you back,
Nor fear of failure dim ambition's fire.
For even when the target's mark is black,
The act of aiming sets the soul afire.
My daughter Louisiana
where did it go wrong ?
Why have you become so greedy
Greedy that you feed on your own offsprings
Intoxicated by drinking the blood of your own children
Your sister’s wombs are cracking with terror
Because of what you do to their children
Isn’t America the peace maker a woman who every man admires her enchanting beauty
Your breast feeds the young and old the rich and poor
But why are the sons of California neglected their tear have created rivers
Their wounds have deepened to form valleys,
their scars sing the song of survival and seek revenge
My deaf ears hear cries from thousands miles away
And my womb mourns day and night and my heart is drained by the weep
Those with expensive shoes on their feet flee
the bear footed are left behind
Peace be upon the sons and daughters of Louisiana.
America will not take my country ~ and it won't take our game
our father in heaven
whos love is forever the same
how wonderful it is that you know our name
you know each struggle on the journey we make
you know every tear we shed every smile every thought
oh how your word will always remain
the one who called us
and knows our name Amen
God loves you immensely (John 3:16), He thinks about you all the time (Ps. 139:17-18), and He knows your name (John 10:3). Amen
isiah 43 v 1
But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.
our father in heaven
whos love is forever the same
how wonderful it is that you know our name
you know each struggle on the journey we make
you know every tear we shed every smile every thought
oh how your word will always remain
the one who called us
and knows our name Amen
God loves you immensely (John 3:16), He thinks about you all the time (Ps. 139:17-18), and He knows your name (John 10:3). Amen
