HOPETOWN AND SOCHI

I never was at Hopetown

With Olympics broadcasts around…

So I cannot say

How well they’d play,

With the resident staff on the grounds.

–

For most of the handicapped men,

“Professional wrestling” was then…

The viewing of choice

Giving raucous voice,

With abundant enthusiasm.

–

Movies like TOP GUN,

Were enjoyed as “rule of thumb”…

Taking away

Limits of the day,

Allowing vicarious fun.

–

Limits are our reality,

Accepting yet dreaming are key…

In another world

Talent is unfurled,

We join them in sorrow and glee!
