Perhaps my abject failure
stems from lack of vision.
Importing foxholes
once seemed an inspired foray.
And when they crumbled
on a turbulent journey here,
the sandcastle-in-a-box kit
seemed an excellent idea.
And, after a brief sojourn
in the mud wrestling business,
came my disastrous involvement
in the Lower Sahara
Ice Hockey League (LSIHL).
I still insist my team,
known as the Alhambra Sheiks,
were of championship caliber,
had we only found a way
to keep ice frozen.
