The craziest slide that ever was slid into home plate right on her hide, was done by Laura, number 11, and oh what a softball kid! The bat hit the ball, Laura took off, she took her great fall, as she started her slide. She threw out her feet, slid on her hip. A more perfect slide couldn't be beat. Except for a hand that had it's own brain. It twisted it turned, and then came the pain. One broken hand, but a run she had scored. Six weeks in a cast, and oh, Laura is bored!!!! |

Poor Laura- a hero-but feeling like zero! Stuck in the summer what wuzn't-due to her predicament. Right now she will be pained,wishing herself a better script for life--But later, she will be able to look back on it all and laugh about it. So, all I can say- it Hang in there Mom--she'll come around-and the summer won't last forever!! David |

Humor and what an ironic twist of fate. I enjoyed every last bit.  Great writing. Kevin "Anything is possible with patience, time is the tool use it to reach your goals." |

ellie, loved the poem. Now that is why I never play sports, I once got knocked unconscience when a football hit my head. seriously. so i can relate to Laura's plight. "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else" faster-Manic street preachers. |
