I'm always trying to come up with things to motivate my kids so I wrote this poem. I'm not a writer and I've never written a poem, except for maybe in grade school. I posted it on our website today. Tell me what you think.

Thanks Tom! I coach a few kids that like to pick and grin so that might be a good idea.

Haha Nice!
That's pretty good stuff. I still like the one that got put in my shoe though, whether it's a poem or not
