Fort Sport

Funny thing this idea sport 
In a way it acts like a fort 
Something there 
Making some stop and care 
Away from being a winner 
Being a topical conversation over dinner 
Debating information 
Discussion which team your team is facing 
It’s a friendly fight 
With a peaceful might 
Quite comical when in sight 
Taking a word like ‘fan’ short for “fanatic”
In Fort Sport one needs to control emotion not panic 
Such an interesting fort 
This sport 
There is a score 
Where the champion has more 
Fort Sport has a way to make a buck 
Merchandising images to show support while wishing good luck 
A pound or pence 
Could be dropped in one’s defense 
Put a dollar on to get fifty cents back 
That is if things go as planned and no one gets sacked 
Fort Sport is a place that is prepared 
To handle any nasty affair 
A facility 
That has the ability 
To tend 
And mend 
Those who bleed 
And are in need 
Even better Fort Sport 
Holds a court 
To find something out 
Through the screams and shouts 
Releases a warning 
Catching the evil storm under its protective awning 
Fort Sport is a chip 
A prop written as an athletic script 
Addressing a problem 
Before the enemy reports ‘I got them’ 
Fort Sport has a part 
That solves conflict before they start 
Monitoring this process 
Outing a mess 
Wrestling it to the ground until it confess 
Allowing tomorrow to be another time to show fortune and fame 
Filling Fort Sport again the house for the civil war game
