Haiku Friday: Old Time Athletes
When I was a kid, hockey great Gordie Howe owned the rink in the next town over. I would sometimes play hockey or go to free skating at Gordie Howe Hockeyland, and if you goofed around it was possible that Gordie Howe would come out and yell at you.
So, let's haiku about those old-school guys this week. Here is mine:
Alex Karras, then
Post-game, Lindell AC

at Wake Forest, then “Da Bears,”

Brian Piccolo
helped integrate that college

He and Gale Sayers
were the first interracial
NFL roommates.
The week after I
was born, he died at the age
of just twenty-six.

Bob Lilly was first
Cowboy. Big. Handsome. My fave
player of all time.
Rep’d America’s
Team. I bought into it all.
No scandal with Bob.
Had dinner with him
Once. Got to wear his Super
Bowl ring. Was so thrilled!
Meeting your heroes
Up close sometimes leaves you sad.
Not the case with Bob.
