Juvenile Sprinter

Tristan Robert Lange



Have you met the cousin
Of little league’s Mikey,
Tall and fast and—oh, crikey!—
Supposed to sprint, not bunt;
I’d like to introduce you to
Kareem Mike Hunt!

    Falls so well line after line, much enjoyed

  • sorenbarrett

    Is he friends with Mike Oxmaul or Hugh Janus? A fun read that caught me off guard at first until I thought oh yea. In high school everyone played that game when a substitute teacher came. Some were on to it right away others never got it and just called roll. But a true story was in high school we had a guy in class with the name Harold Balls and he went by Harry. Good one my friend

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Soren, hahaha…oh absolutely, he probably knows Mike Oxmaul and Hugh Janus from summer league. πŸ˜‚ And Harry Balls is almost too perfect to be real. IπŸ˜‚βšΎπŸ™πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

        Some parents have a twisted sense of humor or don't seem to think when naming a child

            Not nonsense we all have a passion for sport everyone has their own, I'd dream to see basketball game at Madison Square Garden. 🌹

              Dearest Tony, you gave me a good laugh. πŸ˜‚ Mr. Hunt says hello, and Tristan Robert Lange is tremendously grateful for that outrageously generous billing. πŸ˜‚βšΎπŸ™πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
