Eleventh

It is the eleventh round

Again the chemo

Grand River H.

The second home for

Twenty six months now.

Technicians know

The first name.

Always smiling

But in a genuine way.

And you smile back.



No more car selling...GM make

The late night stamina

The Saturdays

The hopefuls with

Mediocre credit scores

The chances taken with clients

Who looked straight on

To you.


But here in this place

Comes Dennis

Thirteen years old

Leukemia

And Denny a high school

Wrestler.

Now on the sidelines

Giving only the moral support

To buddies and Coach.


You, car guy need

To see the teen

Persevere

Smile

Reiterate some so-so joke.

Come back for more.


Also...you have invested

Some Gospel accounts

With undeniable

Odds-challenging courage and compassion

In Jesus Christ, THE MAN

Penultimate.

Remembering Psalm 71.

The eleventh round challenge.

Right here...now

In your face, Gus.


Attaboy.

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

This will help get you going young man. Have fun. Believe that undoubtedly you are getting the techniques. And pleasing some listeners. Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge. Robert Service poem https://internetpoem.com/robert-service/the-song-of-the-mout-poem/ Adam Gussow, good teaching, bluesy stuff. “Sloppy” stye is needed. Christmas tune And let us finish fancy with Buddy Greene. Incomparable.
