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
