My Own Team Sport
I opened the book to tell my story
I sang my song to reveal the tune
I worked my way to top of the heap
I looked forward, then fell asleep
Because I failed to read the words
Because I was deaf to my own song
Because I stepped over my fellowman
Because I was so bored, I fell asleep
I was so wrapped up in my own device
I failed to heed some good advice
Because nothing was of more import
Because I played my own team sport
