Choosing Teams
I stood in the rain, freezing cold,
Standing here was fast getting old,
But I was picked last, once again,
I would play defense in the pouring rain,
I tried to tackle, and fell in the mud,
The match was not starting out too good,
We scored a goal in the first minute,
I just wish I could play a part in it,
Later on, I was put in goal,
I wasn't too pleased, on the whole,
I saved a shot, and kicked high and long,
So far, I hadn't done anything wrong,
In ten minutes, we were four-nil up,
But pretty soon, I really messed up,
I slipped in the mud, and fell with a splat
The other team took advantage of that,
Five minutes later, we were ten-four behind,
This was humiliation of a fearful kind,
My team was angry, and shaking with rage,
I faked an injury, and was sent to the cage,
The girls were playing hockey, I got to join in,
I messed that up too, but we managed to win,
I got in trouble, because I wasn't in pain,
But at least I got out of the torrential rain
I was put on detention, cleaning the floor,
Doing it all was a terrible bore,
I hate PE, I'm terrible at the lot,
Will I be a sportsman? I think not!
