Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Frustrating Game

Don’t you hate it when the offense goes three and out?
As far as the team goes, it leaves me with qualitative doubt.
Victory does not seem to be in the cards
when the team has three downs, and can’t move the ball ten yards.
There are many plays where they can either pass or run.
However, they can’t get it together and go undone.
Four quarters go by, and they can’t get a single score.
Many fans like myself are finding this game a bore.

David Fisher October 27, 2013 at 8:48 PM Good poem about football, and that frustrating 3 and out. It's like they're taking a coffee break during the middle of the game.

Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 5:46 PM i must agree...a football game that holds me captive is one that is very close in scores...nicely penned poem :)
