I love being a football
and to hear the crowd roar
when someone puts me in the net
am happy to help them score
It's a wonderful feeling to be caressed
by the feet of players with skill
when they do the flicks and tricks
it gives me a cheap thrill
Am happy to roll along
or fly through the air
as long as I am the one they all want
about the rest I could not even care
Yes I love being a football
even if the goal posts are just two sticks
put your foot through anywhere on the pitch
as that is how I get my kicks
favorite lines and rhymes: .................................skill when they do the flicks and tricks it gives me a cheap thrill and: ..............................sticks put your foot through anywhere on the pitch as that is how I get my kicks ......................and the double sense of the word kicks is terrific. if i could put this into MyMostFavoritePoems, i would. but there ain't such a beast. so it will go into MyPoemList and into Section A of December's showcase for PH poets. thanks. have you played 'ball' recently? ? bri :)
