Joe thought they had learned their lesson
The “boys” had caught him dressing
He peered into the mirror
Their images became clearer
That’s when they started messing….
Calling him a number of names
Joe had heard all the refrains
When he was smaller
Wanting to be taller
And join in their basketball game.
Now he was a star
They couldn’t mar
His mind with useless digs
As he donned his uniform rig
They were just jealous
And talked rather callous
Joe just strolled into the The Palace
(of Auburn Hills, MI)
