Franco Harris unemployed after speaking out for Paterno
A Pennsylvania casino has fired Franco Harris after the Hall of Famer spoke out on behalf of Joe Paterno.Harris was a star fullback for Penn State under Paterno from 1968 till 1971.
Standing By
Seems Franco is making things tense
Speaking out in his coach's defense;
Once so admired,
Franco's been fired
For pointing out pure common sense.
Ever since my days in broadcasting, I’ve had an irresistible impulse to turn news stories into some kind lyric or rhyming thing…couplets or otherwise. Of course, this was strictly forbidden on the air.
Since I’m no longer on the air…on a regular basis, at least…I’ve decided to share this impulse with you.
Please feel free to comment, pro and con. I have relatively thick skin…especially around the brain area…and may very well answer you in sonnet-form.
Of course, I must ask that you:
Please keep all your comments pristine;
Crisp and fit for a queen.
And if you’ve got the time,
You might make your words rhyme.
Have fun and try not to be mean:o))
