THE WALL
Frank Dattilo

It was mid-September
when the pennant chase 
turned serious.  When
the division title and
wild cards were settled
for real.

The game had started harmlessly
enough when Bob Consiglio
left a runner on third in
his first at bat.  But another
two in his second plate appearance, 
Another one in the next
And then stranded 
the bases full in the following one.

But with the potential winning run
on base for their hated rivals,
Cal Little ripped a shot off the left field 
monster , Bob played
the crazy carom only he would
play it, whipped the throw to the 
cut-off man who
nailed the runner at the plate in bang bang style.

Then in true baseball tradition,
he led off the bottom of the frame
by lifting a high majestic fly
over that same imposing wall.

Bob Consiglio had slayed
The Monster

No crazy caroms for him
no sir'ee, Bob.

Love You So Good.
Miss You So Bad.
A St. Valentine's gift is not just a gift.

Stellar Scholars says
"A kiss is not just a kiss."
Israel, You've Got a Friend.  America.

America, You've Got a Friend.  Israel.

​Make it 51 Stars

A  Message of Light to the United States Congress:

Praise the Lord
and Pass the Resolution!
​
Could Israel become our 51st State?
It has the size of New York City's population, with a vibrant
work force embracing Democracy.  The  resourcefulness and 
vision of the birthplace of Jesus Christ -- in Bethlehem six miles away--
should inspire the inclusion of a star for the Star of David upon our American flag.
Vote  "Yes!"

Ami by Ami

Think you know me?
Or there's something
you can show me?
Or something
you owe me?
​
Well, for that last one,
you can save me
the most comfy chair,
the tastiest morsel
and, of course,
the coziest
and warmest
part of the bed.

Mysterious am  I?
Maybe so.
Yet you,
​to me,
are just as
​puzzling
as a
piece of moving string,
 my reflection in a mirror
or the insides of a dark carton, 
but as companionable
as a smidgeon of catnip.

So there.

I love you, too!

Ami
