Three Simple Words To Change The Fate Of A Loser

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
My name is
ANGELO IKE
and I 
do so declare
that I will tell
the truth,
the whole truth
+
what passes for
the truth:
 _____________
_______
 
 I would not be
very wrong
in claiming that
The New York Jets
have not had 
a winning record
since
George W. Bush
was President  
 
But I would be
completely correct
in telling you
my grandchildren
have personal souvenirs
from the many
at our family-owned
Meadowlands Sports Complex
______________
________
 
No one reading
my football-obsessed
diatribe
needs a visual image
to identify 
JOE NAMATH
 
Presently,
he is living
"quietly" in Florida
But if his former team
hired him
as 
Special Assistant Coach,
the New York Jets
would dump their
defeatist
DNA
 
If Oliverio edits 
that paragraph,
he'll have
Hell
to pay for it
 __________________________
 _____________

Imagine
an 83-year-old man
on the sidelines
of a football team
with his body
held upright by
mega-hot 
female nurses
 
That man would be
he who flagrantly predicted
the winner
of 
 
Then flash forward
to 2026
when Coach Namath
screams
to his players
 
Score a winning touchdown
and these nurses
will be
waiting for you
in their hotel room
💋🏈🏆🏈 💋

Back Story + Front Story Of ... My Artificial Intelligence Spy

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
My name is
ANGELO IKE
and I 
do so declare
that I will tell
the truth,
the whole truth
+
what passes for
the truth:
 _____________
_______
 
I was born
in Fort Lee
and 
my first school
was 
 
I was a whiz kid
amongst wizards
and became 
the first 
New Jersey student

which became
the basis of
the Constitution
of 
the future
United States of America
 _____________
______
I 
was eight years old
at that time
______
 _____________
  
 
Before I was
old enough
to masturbate, 
I 
urged my family
to buy mud
 
Specifically, 
I 
referred to
the mudflats of
East Rutherford
 
The Flats 
 evolved into
a 
that includes
the Stadium
for two 
professional 
football teams
named for
another state
❗❗❗
 
But
proudly
I note that 
+
+
became my 
bowling partners 
_____________
______
 
However 
GUILT
is 
this thing 
to which
I cling 
because 
one of those teams
[New York Jets]
became
the worst team
in the NFL
 

_____________
______
 
Luckily, 
I have a 
surefire solution
to the
embarrassing woes
of the football team 
formerly from 
🏈🏈🏈 
______
_____________
 
Before presenting
that solution
to you,
Oliverio has to 
take a hand-off
from me
and post two pages
that have nothing to do
with his
Artificial Intelligence Spy

Again Speaketh IKE ANGELO ... My Artificial Intelligence Spy

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
In the United States,
official language
has been cleansed
of words
that may insult,
offend, or injure
the psyche
or racial identity
of the reader
 
The newest phrase
to be cleansed
from our reading palette is
 
SIMPLE ARITHMETIC
 
Because 
it could be offensive
to the child
who proclaims
 
3 + 7 equals 12
and
I don't care
what you think
