I Will Not Whine, I Will Not Pout!!

Thank you everyone for the texts, emails and calls in response to my posting regarding the Gator/’Bama game and my pledge that: “I will not whine, I will not pout.”

Homer Hooks of Lakeland, FL, and I have been friends for more years that I care to count. We are both U of Fla. graduates, members of Florida Blue Key, avid Yankee fans and, of course, Gators to our inner core.

I want to share with you a poem that Homer composed in response to my posting ....

“I Will Not Whine...,” by Homer Hooks

I will not whine; I will not pout;

The Tide rolled in; the Tide rolled out;

And grabbed the Gator by the snout.

But let no one sneer at us;

We loyal fans of the Orange and Blue,

Know exactly what we have to do;

We’ll make like the Romans at Cincinnattus!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thank you Homer and ... Go Gators!!
