Football Gear

Bill the buff and nerdy brave, Was told the day was his to save Alas, he wanted just to read And from this horrid world be freed The jocks and coach had cornered him And forced him into football gear And when his mother saw him there She grinned to him from ear to ear Burdened then by many eyes Bill had nowhere to go The pain Bill had was hid inside And no-one was to know Eventually it was too much And Bill just had to leave He left behind an empty shell And no-one even grieved.
