old friends

the coaches dodgeball a true underdog
story then you’ve got to learn the five
DS of dodge ball dodge duck dip dive and
dodge if you master the five DS no

adapt when a gifted youngster breaks
into his world
Jamal champion sportsman and exceptional
wordsmith is a student with a lot left
to learn Forester terminally ill and
hiding away is a tutor with a lot left
to give expression is worth a thousand
words
but perhaps in your case just to as
virtuous as the classic untouchable cop
Jim Malone and as brave as Highlanders

wisest elderly role I know what it is
the last thing I need is another person
telling me what they think it is bingo
