A Poem For Craig Picella

____________________________________________________________________________________

  Always a welcome
  Psychological load
  To be recipient
  Of an honor
  bestowed.

 But he who declares
"Hero of the hour"
  And bestows the honor
  Is the one with
  The real power.

Footnote
Without fellow math teacher Craig Picella at Jefferson High School,
I would have been a master of mediocrity.
