Saturday

 

They catch the ball

avoid the horde –

To put some points

up on the board,

We pay them well

I’m not sure why –

These Lions & Tigers

and Bears - oh my.

Helmets and padding

there’s nothing they lack –

We put their name

across their back,

The quarterback’s paid

the absolute most –

The kicker aims

between the posts.

The Ref jumps in

to all the action –

Should he spot

a slight infraction.

With seconds left

it can get scary –

You hold your breath

and say,

Hail Mary.
