Stand Tall Poem by Kim Barney
Stand Tall
Get up, little one, we have work to do.
You know that I can't do this without you.
You've got to get in and get the job done.
There's nobody else; you're the only one.
Stand up real straight, now, and don't you dare slack.
You go on ahead, and I've got your back.
Your task is simple; I've told you before.
Use perseverance; you don't need much more.
It's not illegal; no, this is no crime.
You will be in there and out in no time.

This is one of my square poems, by the way. It has ten lines and ten syllables per line. It was originally posted as Square Poem 38: Stand Tall
So far, so good. No soundtrack added. Notice the Dodger Dog in the photo. Just as I was getting ready to post this, my Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2. The Dodgers now lead the National League Championship Series 3 games to 2, and only need to win one of the next two games in Milwaukee to advance to the World Series for the second year in a row. (Easier said than done, however.)

D'oh, you broke the voice track. : -)
Yes, it seems that I did, for now at least. Next step, maybe put a hidden message in the 'gibberish' and see if anyone can decipher it.
