Football ABC Poem

Although there’s a rain storm outside,
Bleachers are full,
Coats are worn by adoring fans,
Defending their bodies against the rain,
Everyone is on their feet watching the game,
Full of mud the players run up and down the 100 yard mud pit,
Half-time finally comes,
Inside goes the football team trying to warm up before the 2nd half,
Joining them is their coaches to talk to them about the 1st half,
Kids sitting on benches,
Looking at each other trying to find water,
Minutes later the coaches arrive to the locker room,
“Now is the time where we can’t give up. We are up by 2 touchdowns”,
Outside the rain is still coming down by the bucket full,
Pacing throughout the locker room the boys start to get geared up for the 2nd half,
Quickly they strap their helmets back on,
Running back down to the field they re-cover themselves in mud,
Slipping and sliding while they stretch,
Ten minutes later a horn goes off,
Upon the boys was another 2nd half of football,
Winning was the end result,
X was the play that won it all,
You couldn’t even imagine the excitement on the field,
Zooming back to the bench, the captains grab the water to pour on the coach.
