Hockey

What do I know about hockey I'm watching the guys flying on ice With sticks in hands and a tiny black thingy which I called it "chip" they're skating and fighting over it Oh but this sport looks painful They're hitting and slamming into each other And the crowd gets so wild about it Back and fort they skate and hit And I am flinching and worrying they might be hurt It seems like the crowd get so riled up Especially when two guys had a free fight Now they go take timeout in the glass box Just then one red jersey guy shoot the black thingy into the net And the lively crowd went up singing Scooore scooore At long last I can cheer clapping hands Not knowing I wasn't supposed to cheer for that scoring team Booo... Lets go Rangers they chanted Oh this sport looks real exciting but I am very sure the players will be black and blue the next day Lol... What do I know about hockey...

this is really really cute, Akkina. I agree with Pangie down here when she talks about boxing, football, etc. Too many violent sports cannot be good for the BRAIN. I prefer to remain brainless about these dumb sports!

Boxing is more brutal. It causes brain concussions. Hockey p,ayers wear heavy protective gear, Baseball players fight team to team on the ground. Nobody says a thing. They don't get black and blue))) They, in actuality are Sweet men. I knew a few. Football is real violence...but don't people see it? NO Good poem. I went to hockey games for two full years..I saw the Stanley Cup, too You inspired me to right one noe)) Watch the demonstrations in NYC and Portland...real violence Thanks Akinna..

Greetings Akkina...from the snow fields & ice ponds of Minnesota (actually, surreal idylic outside, flowers blooming, birds chirping, 55 degrees) your poem, from a reflective, "subconscious thought" response to hockey, such as I would have to cricket, even soccer "futbol" (tho I love premier & champions leagues on tv!) is highly entertaining! cheers!

Hi Akkina:) I clicked on this poem because of the title. I used to play hockey when at College, but not on ice! There is no comparison between field and ice hockey! I enjoyed this poem and your sense of humour:) Regards // paul

I enjoyed your humorous poem Akkina. You sound like me. I don't enjoy sports where anyone gets hurt. I have never been to a football game or hockey either, but have watched hockey on T.V. I like watching soccer. Aloha, Connie 7 ; )
