The family of Greensboro Roller Derby
continues to expand, which sometimes means our skaters must head off
to other places and spread their awesomeness elsewhere. This hurts me in my heartal area, but I get comfort knowing some of the best people in
the universe are out there, reppin' hard in other places.
Smackson Pollock-- formerly MSG, a beautiful Bettie and a Gate City all-star-- is leaving us for the coast. We will miss her. I will miss her. So I wrote her this poem. Please enjoy.
For Smackson
Smackson, Smackson
How I love thee
In my heart, you have always been MSG
Your muscles so ripped
Your booty so big
So pretty and girly, yet you eat like
pig
Your laugh is infectious
And your hugs so sincere
Always the last one to wash your smelly
gear
Your hits are the worst, but my
favorite to get
Getting a hip check from you is truly
the pits
I love how we hit each other the entire
jam
Or how we help each other achieve a
grand slam
Going against you or with you is always
so fun
Cause I know we will giggle with each
other when the clock says its done
There is something so special about you
that I wish I could capture
An afterparty with you is always a
delightful disaster
You really are one of the best girls I
will ever meet
My favorite to lose to, and my favorite
to beat
Smackson Pollock, you are a wonderful
and unique woman that makes the world a better place. I will miss
your laugh, hugs, and your wonderful approach to life. Hitting you
and being hit by you is one of the reasons I love roller derby so
much.
Keep being you.
XOXO Miller Lightnin'
