"The Gaels" - A Poem

[hawaii bill]

As Summer turns to Autumn
and the hardwood comes alive
my thoughts return to basketball
and Iona's starting five.

Will we win out of conference?
Will we trample through the MAAC?
Will we play ten nailbiters?
Will I have a heart-attack?

When the days turn the darkest
and the snow begins to fall
will we climb o'er the hurdle
of the mighty freshman wall?

Bring on Cluess, Bring on Grasso
now I think we have a chance
to play on Monday night and
win a ticket to the dance.

Nice Job !!!!

I'll re-post this to come full circle with Coach Cluess.

Great job, counselor!

That's a long time to be a "bored out of his mind, attorney level poetry".
