I remember the shame seeing
the team's hat on its proud antlers
in the school's hallway,

ReplyDeleteSuz Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteTrue enough, the team pride can be very strong. Its strength determines success or failures. Brilliant!

I had a friend whose husband hung a head on every single wall of her living room. I often wondered how she could stand to live with him.
ReplyDeleteVery well done, Suz. I agree completely.
