Three mice climbed Grandfather’s clock
Grandpa struck one…
The others could run

Clearing concussion protocol
Will compete again next Sunday

Hickory Dickory, it’s the plight of a modern jock. A bump on the head while on the field and off to the tent they go. Protocol the days. Witty you, John!

Dear John, Your poem is clever! The playful rhyme contrasting with the reality of injury adds a bittersweet layer. It captures the spirit of wanting to jump back in but knowing safety comes first. Wishing you a smooth recovery and a speedy return - next Sunday and beyond! LOL - Blessings, Daniel
