~ Limerick Style ~
At an age when most men are watching their stomachs grow
Tom Brady had second thoughts about hanging up his cleats, and so
He simply unretired
And instantly inspired
Legions of balding, middle-aged men to chuck a few passes
~ and sprain their right elbow

Tom Brady is the Greatest American football quarterback of all-time.
He has led his teams to a record 7 Super Bowl Championships. Last
month, at age 44, he came within a couple of whiskers of doing it again.
He's also tall, dark and handsome; married to super-model, Gisele
Bundchen; and has a brilliant future in whatever arena he chooses
to enter -- after he wins another Super Bowl next February, that is!

One love
with whom I drew in Ten looks
together we steal a Hundred glances
each fuels a Thousand miles to your soul
which a Million stars try to dim but fail
a Thousand skies lit by their efforts
we'll stargaze over Hundred lifetimes
Ten times over and again
One love unretired
