Poem by Joseph Mangriviti The American Dream You certainly have food on your kitchen table And a roof over a smart head – very capable! A great business, a family, friends and esteem! You, Champ, have realized the American dream. The time has come for you to reach beyond, Beyond the dream, so to stardom you can bond. Let your skills, talents and capabilities shine. Bring heaven down to earth by attentive design. You make a delicious sauce and also fine wine. Hunting, fishing and sports are daringly divine. Now cross the ocean, fly the air; just don’t quit!
