FOOTBALL

In football, they use a ball

That is pointed at both ends.

That sounds DANGEREOUS...

NEVER POINT IT AT YOUR FRIENDS.

It starts each game

Sitting on the ground.

They put helmets on,

And gather all around.

They say some numbers,

Then throw it in the air.

The players start bumping,

And the fans all stare...

To see who catches it

And then they all yell.

Some people are happy,

Others are not so swell.

They put in on the ground again;

Plan how to GET IT DONE.

The ball is passed to Someone BIG

And he begins to run.

He crashes into someone BIGGER

And tumbles to the ground.

All the players pile on top of him

And the ball is looking...to...be...found.

It is uncovered and they look

To see if it's still OK.

They see it's all right and quickly pass it along.

The ball is then again ready for play.

The same things happen again.

It goes on, and on, and on.

The only soft part of the football game

Is that they get to play it on a lawn.

pause

I think football is fun to watch, but

I don't want to play...at...all.

It would be way too rough for me

because

I'm a Professional Ping-Pong Ball.
