I wrote this on February 6, 2018. I hate that it’s still relevant. 8647.

Bone spurs! Bone spurs! I once had ‘em!
Now they’re gone, like Eve and Adam!

Served their purpose very well,
Got me out of that ‘Nam hell.

Now i’m famous, ego huge,
Even though i’m just a stooge.

And now i must have all attention.
Every news clip, they must mention

Me, i say, yes always me!
I’m the greatest, can’t you see?

I must be loved, and for no reason!
And if you don’t i’ll say it’s treason!

America, i say, is first.
Now watch me as i make it worst.

If you don’t like it, i don’t care.
My head is full of putrid air.

You all don’t matter, that is that!
For i’m a petty, selfish brat.

Ten years ago today, September 30, 2016. My #dog Seera hanging out in the Observers tent at USA Ultimate Nationals in Rockford, IL. The other observers (kinda like referees) loved having her there. She was 16½ at the time and this was her last road trip. @usaultimate.bsky.social #Photography
