Hitting the Goal Post
A player skating on the ice any day,
may steal the puck and go for a breakaway.
One thing will upset any player the most.
That’s taking a slap shot and hitting the post.
A shot in the goal can be a game winner.
He wants to put the puck past the goaltender.
But one lousy break can haunt just like a ghost.
It frustrates the player when he hits the post.
The offense can set up a play that is fine;
if they steal the puck, and go past the blue line.
Scoring a goal can make any player boast.
But how frustrating when the puck hits the post!
Score a goal, and there are sirens and a light.
To see the puck in the net, what a sweet sight!
But one thing that is hated from coast to coast,
is when the player’s shot bounces off the post.
