The Unfired Shot“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.

The Mourning Womb
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...

CanucksHearts shattered
Open ice
Friendly smiles
Competitions vice
A tie, they say
A game well loved
How can we win
When peace is the ideal above
We slaughter them humanely
We butcher them halal
Oil don't do well on our coast
And Orca's don't do well there
Are we better at entertaining than winning?
Now there's an original thought
We'd better burey the Oilers
Otherwise we'll get caught...

It was in Paris, few days ago
It rushed a shiver from the head to the toe.

The horse was galloping in the water, even the ring of the high...

And Then There Was HockeyThe oncoming winter is fast approaching
With my limited mobility not looking forward
Some would classify me as a shut-in
I truly don't have a problem with that
Taking into consideration my advanced age
Not knowing how much longer I have
'Tis better to be frugal than frivolous
Have been extremely fortunate lucky so far
My childhood goes way back to a...
