BALL BOYS
By tackles of cruelness, the players are falling
and out of the big stand I hear the crowd calling.
They live in the hope that their highly paid bruisers
will touch the ball down as the winners ( not losers).
Through gaps in defenders and dodging their clawing,
struggles the halfback; he's over ! he's scoring !
And louder than thunder ( though nothing like singing )
the cheers of supporters are roaring and ringing.
