Forever Babe

‘ Forever Babe’

by

Gene L. Gillette

(Copyright Gene L Gillette )



Stitches turning, motion forward,

cartoon lines push a baseball

toward a shimmering window.


White circular clouds: an awkward brown and green tree

paint the background, filling the paper.

Stripes, knee socks and boyish grins.

Awkward Giants, our sublime heroes.



Ruth, Mantle, Tinker to Evers to Chance.

American fabric, woven so deep, our older hands grip tighter on our corporate bats.

Frozen crayons, childishly drawn in time

forbids the baseball to break the window.

Ah but memories stream, a thousand sunshine days

of hot dogs, friendly crowds and the Boys of Summer.

Where do Politicians come From?

Copyright by Gene L. Gillette


Politics: 30 second spot (Two voices need for this spot.)

(Voice one) The following is a paid political announcement.

(Voice two) Hi, I’m Floyd Boggs and I’m running for congress. I work at Pep Boys in auto parts and last year my buddies and I saw the presidential elections on T.V............. We thought all the politicians were really cool. I mean they all wore Armani suits, drove Mercedes, and traveled all over the world........ My boss says that all that travel and cool stuff is paid for by guys like me at Pep Boys. So right away I’m thinking hey, this politician thing might be a good deal..........I’m Floyd Boggs.....I don’t know much, but I know a good thing when I see it.
