Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

A Poem For Sid Luckman

A great Jewish football player 
Led the Bears to a 73 - 0 win 
My late father and  my uncle 
saw him play 
Not too many Jewish football players 
   But there was one - a great one !
As the years pass 
    his memory fades 
But on TV - the electric warriors 
Continue to battle on !
