Pistol Pete

A roundball wizard; few could compare.

To the man in floppy socks and shaggy hair.

Between the legs and behind the back.

For putting on a show he had a knack.

Ball handling, charisma, and a sweet jump shot.

Shooting from all angles and hitting his spot.

Basketball heroics - few were better.

Pistol Pete – the record setter.

Atlanta, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge.

Crowds that came were always huge.

Striving for greatness - the ultimate theme.

Forever the object of his father’s dream.

Forever revered for transcending the game.
