giant 50 cartwheels

can't precisely recall why i started gymnastics
8th grade other than did every other sport
and butch was the p.e. coach
we were among the best in the state of oklahoma
and osu was wrestling, baseball, gymnastics,
and a teeny bit basketball and football
loved the high bar, the chalk, castovers
the parallel bars, doing handstands, dismounts
the floor front flips from a run, round offs
the rings, never the iron cross, but shoulders liquid
the pommel horse, pretty useful

in life. quit gymnastics after flying off
the high beam into a cement wall,
doing giants, well , what happens to giants

went into tennis, cartwheels.
