Mud-Spittle Poem by Jerry Buckley

It isn't always pretty
Fact is can tend toward brutal
Between the teeth its gritty
Profanity mixed with mud-spittle

Not necessarily graceful
Sometimes sheer force supercedes
Each intention to be civil
The will to win can over reach

Usually less exhilarating
There's all those 'kiss-your-sisters'
Then afterwards less accommodating
What with the bruises and the blisters

Never is it very glamorous
Cheer squads don't study futbol
But it it's o-u-r foo-kin favorite
The most beautiful game of all!
