Any good sportswriter that’s worth his salt is also an expert poem-smith and our editor thought it best that I commemorate Boise State’s win by putting pen to paper. I informed him I only use a Wellington Parker Kidder noiseless typewriter, and he conceded that would be okay as well. So without any ado, here is my humble submission—an ode to Boise’s halfback: Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great
A poem by Melvin “Inky” Marsh esq. Written upon a Wellington Parker Kidder noiseless typewriter—an invoice for the ink ribbon has been sent our our editor-in-chief.
Against a gray November sky, Alexander the Great took the field.
