I tried soccer when I was ten And have since vowed never again I wasn't too quick on my feet I gave up fast in summer heat They put me on defensive line And during practice, I did fine But when it came time for the game The field no longer looked the same They kick the ball towards my face I shield my head and quickly brace I've saved myself from getting hurt Though if I put in more effort We might have won once in a while I'm sure that would have made them smile Instead the team all hated me For sabotaging constantly It's not my fault I'd rather loose Than end up with a scrape or bruise That's why I prefer poetry It's safer…at least physically
