The Ballad of Austin Greerby Conrad Jones, May 2003Austin’s mom brought him to karate from afar … That is, until Austin was old enough to drive a car. He got taller and taller until he made a lot of shade … And he got sharper, too, hence the nickname “Blade.” His strength was awesome in his punches and kicks … He liked to kick around the old Black Belts, particularly Rick. He’s still young, and knowledge he does crave … He learned a lot about karate and life from Black Belt Dave. His training partner pushed him hard, and he learned a lot about himself … You’re going to be pushed with a partner like “Raging Bull” Jeff. With his attitude and respect, he would go all the way, the higher belts felt … And to no one’s surprise, he earned his Black Belt. But the days of high school are fading like the sun … Austin is headed off to the college of Union. To Austin’s parents: Thanks for sharing him over the years … He is smart and strong, so have no fears! You are a super young man, and the future is bright … Come see us when you’re in town … I’ll leave on a light! |
