AN IMMIGRANT COMES

Think of it as a sports team, manager
Brings in new blood to bolster the strength of
The team. New blood to contribute to the
Success of the team. And let all present
Fight that much harder for success. Team
Work, together we win, but, of course, apart
We’re gonna fail. Common truth. This we know.

Drop the puck. Play ball. On with the game. Go.

Some words jotted while Remembrance Day was interrupted by the firing of our famous hockey commentator for alleged racist comments on immigrants not wearing remembrance poppies. That was the story.
There is a better poem buried in there somewhere.
Can you write It?
