A Javelin Thrower and Disappointment

In his heart was an intense glow
After his seeming superb show:
An unsurpassed Philistine Throw
Until whistled “A Disallowing No”
That nearly javelin blood flow
Stopped from his head to toe
And a seizure wired like a blow …

Clear that a bank account won’t grow,
A once hot spirit is icy snow;
For all this rousing with the cock’s crow!

Now a bow is sick and tired of an arrow,
A once healthy Toyota awaiting a tow.
