Strops
I used to follow stats of my favorite sports teams,
Now, I just track Covid 19.
Basketball, Baseball, Football and Hockey,
When they return, will we all be in Shockley?
North, South, East and West,
Wins, losses and Ties,
Which teams will be the best?
who's going to get the bye?
Lord Stanley and World Series,
Larry O'Brien and Lombardi,
How about the umpires and referees?
Remember to attend the party!
Steals, layups and dunks,
Singles, doubles, triples, home runs, and walks,
Touchdowns, field goals and foolish drunks,
Goals assists and plenty of trash talk.
Rushing, passing, tackles and kicks,
Hits, strike outs and foul balls,
Shots, deflections and broken sticks,
Fast breaks, defense and refs bad calls.
Swingers, fielders and hurlers,
Receivers, special teams and quarterbacks,
Goalies, defenders and scorers,
Forwards, centers and hack a Shackqs.
Stadiums, arenas and ball parks,
Fans, crowds and seats,
Innings, periods, quarters and special sparks,
Zambonis, turf and delicious eats.
Sports are back!
Go see the show!
I hope your team pulls away from the pack,
It's great being back in the athletic flow!
