The Triple Threat
'Tis "shoot, pass, dribble" the triple threat
You've got to watch or challenge met.
He scores. He makes you feel regret.

The triple threat in writing means,
"the poetry, novel, speech" it gleans
Great reputation's Joy it preens.

By triple threat I mean you're good
beyond all luck or miracle, mood.
You're excellent deeds may oft seem rude.

You mow, and landscape, garden well?
You're a triple threat with much to tell.
Some rest, but you create in the dell.

Just think of possibilities.
Three giftings, that your love it frees.
Thy triple threat of lasting glees.

A triple threat of piano, string, wind?
Each day what music could you send!
How few your talents could defend!

A baker's dozen triple threat?
The greatest taste buds are in your debt.
Exquisite loaves, scones, cinnarolls met.

To have success as child, teen, man
is more than most of lives could span.
The triple threat by greatest plan.
