Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Reasons Fore the Sporting Seasons

There once was a General who had an investment in the swamp 
He had many ways of getting what he wants 
Including making things great again when he stomps 
While in the marsh land 
The General had to make a stand 
Feeling pressure from the groups 
Most were wearing their pinstripe suits 
For many years they dealt the cards 
Depending on social pages and stars 
Doing business with the entire world 
Using positive dialogue as its stir 
For the most part this was peaceful action 
Warm welcomed after the bitter distrusting combative fraction 
Marketed as the evening news featured attraction 
During these years of violent behavior 
Games were played that the country savored 
Goals, Baskets, Runs and Touchdowns galore 
Checks being written and money in the bank everyone was sure 
These sporting exhibitions found themselves having time on the floor 
In every paper results were reported
With space, journalist awarded 
Printed information 
About the spectacle they were facing 
Competition was the civil way 
Based on physical activity play 
During this fun 
When communication was supposed to be done 
Keeping things flowing 
Like a country’s crew team doing the rowing 
The General should be aware 
About this unique style of internal affairs 
Having the purpose to advert small upheavals
That the enemy could provide as their evil 
All this is something to interpret and appreciate 
As states get things straight 
Sports are not games designed around winning 
Instead they bring closure to the living 
Unlike cultures who are sore 
And do not know how to stop fighting a war 
Hopefully the New York/New Jersey General will use this athletic battle fleet 
To confront humanity’s flaw, the need to compete.
