LOL! ;) Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, Roy -- it's one of those that you know going in won't win cuz it's too nerdy to have wide-spread appeal, but I simply could not resist when the I ran across the word in the 20-letter listing!! ;) :) The ?nerd? was strong with this one.... LOL! ;) Take care! :) Yvette

This is excellent, Yvette. I abandoned your author notes halfway, I'm afraid. :-)) But I read enough to be aware of the facts.
Actually I think this entry is a contest winner. You selected a difficult word and aced the poem.
Kudos for courage, intelligence and creativity.

Comment from Aaqib Naeem
I liked your description of the buckyball here and how you connected it to football. One small thing I would suggest would be to changing the font size a bit and to not start every word with a capital letter. That would help with the overall teacup presentation style!

The Six Stars are for a stellar teacher with much knowledge and a flair for
composition. This a very unique presentation with great information. The picture is astounding in its own unique technological portrayal.

Yvette,
I saw this word in the list and was instantly drawn to it! I read about it and I thought I am not sure how to make this poetic. You, the genius you are, did it!! So proud of you.
Good luck in the contest.
Respectfully and kindly yours,
Beth-the minx.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Yvette,
My brain is bursting with all these mathematical concepts you are tossing out LOL
But one can still learn. Fisher Price has a children's toy similar to your artwork, which my grandson plays with.
Methinks if you want to extend your alliteration in your last line, do consider:
Famous Forties (or Fifties) Football ... haha.

Perhaps. But, as explained in the notes, the poem would no longer be accurate as it was discovered in the eighties. ;) Thank you for your review. ;)
