Poem
There once was a General who had an investment in the swamp He had many ways of getting what he wants Including making things great again when he stomps While in the marsh land The General had to make a stand Feeling pressure from the groups Most were wearing their pinstripe suits For many years they dealt the cards Depending on social pages and stars Doing business with the entire world Using positive dialogue as its stir For the most part this was peaceful action Warm welcomed after the bitter distrusting combative fraction Marketed as the evening news featured attraction During these years of violent behavior Games were played that the country savored Goals, Baskets, Runs and Touchdowns galore Checks being written and money in the bank everyone was sure These sporting exhibitions found themselves having time on the floor In every paper results were reported With space, journalist awarded Printed information About the spectacle they were facing Competition was the civil way Based on physical activity play During this fun When communication was supposed to be done Keeping things flowing Like a country’s crew team doing the rowing The General should be aware About this unique style of internal affairs Having the purpose to advert small upheavals That the enemy could provide as their evil All this is something to interpret and appreciate As states get things straight Sports are not games designed around winning Instead they bring closure to the living Unlike cultures who are sore And do not know how to stop fighting a war Hopefully the New York/New Jersey General will use this athletic battle fleet To confront humanity’s flaw, the need to compete.
