Poem From The Intrasquad

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Just wanted to share a poem written during the Intrasquad at the beginning of this season by Pam Wilson, a long time member of "The FALL" Fan Club. It was inspired by actual events at the meet. Pam gave me permission to publish it here. Thanks for sharing, Pam!


Intrasquad Wrestling Match at Gill Coliseum
Pamela Devereaux Wilson

a security man kneels on the seat between us
tells Nancy - "your knitting needles are weapons"
2 point reversal for orange

"don't bring them again" - I laugh, he turns to me
 "your pen is a weapon" - incredulous!
black maintains a double-arm bar

in our 70s we are two dangerous, armed women
knitting needles and a Zebra fine point pen
orange pins black in the first round

yesterday, 26 dead in a Texas church shooting
an AK 15 assault rifle, 20 more wounded
who scores the match point?
