I
deserve to be in a Football of Fame
the same way
Barney Fife
should be a Texas Ranger.
My Junior Year in High School
1970
I got into twelve games
for free
by pretending to be a player.
The team whose uniform I wore
won a District Title
then a Bi-District game
while I looked on, contented.
The team itself will be honored
next week with a part in the Joshaway (phonetic spelling) High School Homecoming Parade.
They will then be recognized at half-time of the Homecoming Game
Friday evening.
I cannot make the Monday parade
or the Friday game
but, then again,
some of the guys who should be honored
will be honored.
And I think that is good.
