Woman & Ball Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

by Freeyad Ibrahim

For a twenty-year-old woman,
She is like a football
Twenty-two men running behind her!

For a thirty-year-old woman,
She is like a basketball
Ten men running behind her!

At the age of forty,
She resembles a baseball
One man running behind her!

At the age of fifty,
She resembles a tennis ball
Each man throws it to another!

At the age of sixty,
She resembles a golf ball
Everyone wants to put it into the hole...!
