Wyoming Winter Senior Games—2010
The games are over now but the memories last
for those who swam and skied and skated fast
racquetball and pickle ball and hockey teams
with evening meals and torchlight streams
a snowshoe race on a green flagged track
that led you out then brought you back
the medley relay: back, breast, fly, free
took gold with Julie, Amber, Joan, and me
ice arena, Pinedale aquatic, White Pine,
Rendezvous Pointe—a fantastic venue line
participants must be at least fifty years old
and unlimited up for the very bold
many senior friends and familiar smiling faces
will return again for the contests and the races
we'll rest a year and unless we've gone to heaven
will strut our senior stuff again in twenty eleven.
