Poem
Hockey is a game played on ice, men (assumption) in thick pads, swaking a 'puck' with sticks. Tricky thing hockey can be see, thick pads, icy playing fields... but best of all, it's the goalie that's feared the most. Looking like a nightmare post, masked monster guarding cave entry to goal...but what I do know. I'm having to Google it... "Hockey is played in the morning" said Mr. Franklin in the year 1825, Great Bear takes the prize and later in years, games were played with cheers on rinked ice Still and inside... Padded demons to each side, nine their count on the glide... Slicing the ice as they slide. A miracle score over a great lake, pride is at stake as they ride the blades, masks of nine to each side. Wooden the weapons and black the target, they fix the eyes and the mind as echos are sliced into the air of their icy layer. And Canada began the game, spreading the echo over the land and then came bodies they called the fans. And they cheered! Bundled in coats mittens and beers they cheered and the game moved on. Padded players on the make with hockey bucks and goals to take home, the Cup. ~They play for the ;puck~ ~I watched them long ago once in a dream when I was a duck on the great lake quacking, and a duckling with luck that the goalie would save me! Again! My nest you see was right behind the demons pride. And so as a shadow on the goalie's back I rode, hiding my feathers of eggs and gold! Whew! Just on time, for the rainbow's net.Again, came a 10th on the rink to keep reason. A fair game invented for a new season. Gotta love a thing, created in a lake, called a Goalie during a day when demons of nine laughed and sang on the ice, So wrote the duck of today. Thank god for TV. That's where you'll find me, if I ever watch it. Again A game to be enjoyed with friends, is the Penned. ;)
