Poet's Corner
JOE IS A WELL-TRAINED POLICE OFFICER
All the police think Joe is a good cop
Back at the academy, he finished at the top.
He's seen lots of crack and domestic stride,
and worked really hard to stay married to his wife
Now a different guy in a parking place,
skateboard underfoot, a smile on his face
Nine years of practice, patience and pain
to land tough tricks on wheels of urethane
The guy lands a move with superclean precision.
Joe sees from the road and makes a quick decision
The apprehender of countless crooks.
a grade "A" student of Copper books
Pulls up to the guy with a tire screech
and recites to the skater a well-worn speech
The top-notch skill of a top-notch cop
is used to make the boarder stop
-Neal Boyd, Hammond, LA
THE PRAYER OF A LONELY GIRL
Please send me a skater. Oh, Heavens above,
send me a skater with undying love
Send me a skater with Thrasher in hand
send me a skater, a real fine man
Send me a skater with Emerica shoes
send me a skater with lots of tattoos
Send me a skater all muscle and tan,
send me a skater, a real fine man
Send me a skater who can really catch air,
send me a skater with dyed, punky hair
Send me a skater, not one of the clan.
send me a skater, a real fine man
-LJ Gibson, Corona, CA
