Arabian Games

by Charles E Minshall

During the Desert Storm war
to while away their off hours,
the American troops
played various games of sports
in the desert sands.
The vigorous games stirred up
great quantities of Arabian dust
and the participants all ended up
with a general sports cough.

Great play on words Charlie. He has transcended beyond the Norm. Come to think of it, so have you. Peace...

I don't get it. Was there something in the sand they were allergic to? Have they tried Zyrtec?? Okay, i'm done playing dumb. You're a genius!
