Kickball Game Round Up

The schools are all in a kickball game competition.
I thought we would be the first school to sign up.
We are the first at everything else, and I love kickball.
If I had not torn my meniscus and ACL and bruised my bone on the same day,
I would have been the first person to sign the non-liability waiver.
I sent an email explaining myself, to the organizer,
Feeling badly that I am not signing up.
Gosh, I used to love kickball. It was probably my favorite sport.
Fifty years ago.
They are having a hard time,
And I am tempted.
But my fear holds me back.
