Poem
A story probably most of you already know. This took place on a football team not too long ago. The owner and all the coaches together agreed, that a star receiver was their immediate need. The best all-pro pass catcher played for another team. To have him render his services here was their dream. Just picturing him wearing their uniform was nice, as the team knew his presence would come at a high price. There was competition from others to snare this guy, but the offer from this owner turned out the most high. Everyone on the team knew this man was a winner. Their contract he signed while being treated to dinner. All greeted him when he appeared at the training camp. As he went through the drills, they felt the team was a champ. Throughout the season, he coupled with the quarterback, Together, they composed a high-scoring pass attack. Best winning record in the Conference they achieved, To go all the way was what many fans had believed. When the team played in the Super Bowl in Jacksonville, that great big coveted trophy eluded them still. This receiver stayed out of camp before next season. His thought that he was worth more money was his reason. The owner said “You signed a contract to play with us, so report to the training place and end all this fuss!”. So his demands for higher pay were then retracted. Soon, the team became annoyed with the way he acted. The coach said “We’re suspending you without any pay. Clean out your locker; I‘ve had enough of you today!” The fact that this man has played his last game for the team is quite apparent now, and a big shame it would seem. There are some other teams with a wide receiver need. If he gets a new chance, then this advice he should heed: Please control yourself, and keep your mouth in a pucker; should you get the urge to call the coach a ____________. (I’m letting the readers fill in the blank.)
