Original
A Second Family
We all show up together, to the
cool, loud and
compact
studio rink, for a harmless game.
We chirp each other, with no hard
feelings.
Our heartless jokes are our form
of heartfull compliments.
We all cram in the small, smelly
locker room together,
When a parent brings us all refreshing
Gatorades and energizing
Sandwiches. We sit there for
hours, we let the game we all
commonly love bring us together,
and spend
the wonderful thanksgiving together.

We all show up together, to the
cool, loud, and
Compact
studio rink, and lace up for a harmless game.
Our heartless chirps are hurtful
compliments
With no hard feelings.
We all get together and just
play.
We all cram in the small, smelly
locker room together,
Tired and exhausted, but we still
stay there together for hours.
The game we commonly love bring
us all together, and we have
A wonderful Thanksgiving together.
Jack- You capture a strong moment here- and I love the line, "heartless chirps are hurtful compliments". It captures male banter well. Now- I didn't get a reflection journal from you Wednesday, however. Right?
