Trying to get me
to show compassion

That is so

June Gloom In Orange County ... Without Hyperlink
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Pretend for a moment
that you are
a professional baseball team
But you have two players
whose names rhyme with
SHOW HAY
+
MIKE DOUBT
That guarantees you
would always appear
in highlight reels,
wherever videos exist
But if there is one thing
you are not supposed to do
it is this:
Peak in the month of May
Now
:::
let Mr. Oliverio say
he hopes to be
proven wrong
cuz the baseball season
is very long
😖

The All-American Quarter-Final At French Open Is PURE COCO
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moments ago,
she defeated Sloane Stephens
to advance to
the Semi-Finals
at
the French Open

She/He Poem #142857
________________________________________________________________________________________________
She puts the down
in his up
He puts the tears
in her cup
She puts the wrong
in his right
He puts the grounding
in her flight
But him without her
her without him
chances of survival
would be slim

The 170th Bullet: The Exact Opposite
________________________________________________________________________________________________
We all need to be healthy.
But if you think
—24/7—
of nothing
but "good health,"
the exact opposite
will be the result.

On The Mount Rushmore of Tennis ...
________________________________________________________________________________________________
There is a place for
who is presently
a brilliant eminence
as a tennis broadcaster
Yesterday
Martina described
a 4th round match
as
"the most exciting match
of the tournament"
This was an accurate description
and I, for one,
nearly had a coronary
in front of my TV
cheering for
However,
the next televised match
featured
+
and it was
—stroke for stroke—
twice as exciting
as the previous match
simply because
it was twice as long as
the previous match
If you don't know
who Rafael Nadal is,
suffice it to say
he is a direct descendant of
Albert Einstein
with a level
of athletic talent
combining
Tom Brady, Michael Jordan,
and Babe Ruth
Since 2005,
Nadal had played
a total of 108 tennis matches
at the French Open
He won 105 of them
and lost only
three of them
But yesterday,
he nearly lost to
!!!
I forgot
which broadcaster
said it but the poetic
closing comment
about the victor
of this
four-and-a-half hour
is something
out of Shakespeare:
WILL LIVE
TO FIGHT
ANOTHER DAY

A Boy And His Headphones
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
A boy and his headphones
got side-swiped by
while listening to
Yellow Submarine
The boy
sometimes
pretends to be
a 73-year-old man
Remove his headphones
and the real world
becomes his nemesis
But remove every nemesis
and everything
becomes a
drone

The Wonderful + Weird World Of Words ... Boggles The Mind
________________________________________________________________________________________________
To be in love,
to be wed,
et al
you need a betrothal
Throughout your family
this bold word
will be heard:
BETROTHAL
And if
—to you—
it's all the same,
let's reduce it to
a word game
To quote Dr. C.I. Scrabble"
You don't need a goggle
to play Boggle
and you don't need a wig
to think big
And
what is really cool:
I assume you know
the Boggle rule:
—forming subsets of the original word—
the longer and bigger
newly formed words are
the better the chances of victory
***
****
*****
B-E-T-R-O-T-H-A-L
and you get
throb
broth
bloat
...
...
breath
bother
BROTHEL
To poeticize
forming a "subset"
—let me say—
one thing to another
does segue
That
BETROTHAL
segues into
BROTHEL
makes the mind
Wiggle and Woggle
which might name
two employees of
such an establishment
😋😋😋
