Notes About The Poem

Truly, truly, I say to you, in football, it is better to give (punishment) than receive. 

A Football Checklist

1. Stay low,
2. Strike a blow,
3. And go with flow.

Or wake up on the bench
With that ammonia stench.
"How many fingers do you see?
What do you do on 50-Slant-C?"
"He remembers the plays again.
He's okay to go back in-
Just an elbow to the chin."

1. Stay low,
2. Strike a blow,
3. And return that elbow
