He Won A Poem

As promised, I have generated a poem for the first person to correctly identify the startling image of Tanya Harding. The winner and obvious Tanya Harding fan is film editing extraordinaire and amazing dad, Chris Fernandez. Since I have only been acquainted with Chris for about two years (and most of the things I know about him come by way of his lovely wife, Susan), you can say I took more than a few liberties with my masterpiece.

Ode to a Woolwich Warrior

You may be a Tanya Harding fan,

But do we really know you?

Beyond a television editor,

and a father of two?

A big fan of sports,

and a trivia buff,

with a mack daddy tv,

and some other techie stuff.

Quiet and content,

A person first class,

Despite the Red Sox,

What a pain in my...shoulder.

But what else should we know?

Do you like Pepsi or Coke?

Ice cream or cake?

Do you prefer a natural tan,

Or one you might fake?

Do you hate traffic, large crowds,

Or trips to the mall?

Do you like much anything more,

than Phillies baseball?

And when you were young,

Did you like Chuckie Cheese?

Atari, Ninetendo,

Or just climbing trees?

Did you spend college listening to

Blues Traveler or Rusted Root?

Or, were you a closet Korn fan,

and Pearl Jam to boot?

There is so much to learn,

but one thing's for sure,

You're loved by your family,

And nothing matters more.

**Stay tuned for another installment of name that person, so you too can be the subject of my poetry or prose.
