2 Captains Poem by Jim Yerman

Two captains met to choose their teams for life...
"I choose strength and beauty! " Captain 1 said.
Captain 2 spoke, after pondering a while,
"I choose love and kindness instead."

Captan 1 chose intelligence and wealth
and power over everyone.
Captain 2 chose wisdom and respect
then announced, "My choosing is done."

"But there's so much more to choose! " Captain 1 said.
"How are you ever going to succeed? "
"Thanks." Captain 2 said as he walked away,
"But I've chosen everything I'll need."
