    FOOTBALL
    Aug. 10, 1989
    What is the sense
    Of watching this game?
    I can't understand
    Why all the fame.
    I sit here and tryTo follow the ball,
    But on another,They always fall.
    To stop the runner,Is their plan,
    And it only takes,A single man.
    So why, when he's down,
    And the ball they stop,
    Do all the others
    Pile on top?
    What drives these men
    To take this pain?
    It must be the money,
    Or they're just insane.
    By:Sheila Weaver
    aka peacefully
    This was written to tease my husband, Tommy. He didn't appreciate it and just kept on watching the game.

    Spoken like a true female! Why do male birds show off for female birds? Crazy world isn't it. The ones who pile on after the runner is down wants credit for the tackle. It a ego thing. Cute poem and well done. Coach

    This is a great poem-but being from Pittsburgh I can't understand not liking football.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
