A SHORT BY BOB GIRALDI WRITTEN BY PETE HAMILL.
A Poet Long Ago” stars Steve Schirripa (SONNY) and Boris McGiver (MALLOY). In the present day, SONNY, a sanitation worker, and MALLOY, a newspaper writer, meet by chance and reminisce about their grammar school days together back in 1970s Brooklyn. Immediately an old wound is opened; flashbacks show how the least likely of the pair had an astonishing gift for poetry beaten out of him by a narrow-minded father hell-bent on protecting him.
