Role Model

The Role Model Would that I could be a star an athlete with fame renown to sink a ball into a hoop or smack a ball with a wooden bat and carry a ball across a field where the measure of man is contractual gain even though I must play in the rain To be a role model for the common youth even though I am uncouth I may shoot a man abuse a woman commit adultery when I can I can box very well and beat someone without a care and if that doesn’t work I’ll bite off an ear I must practice each day to make the win and after the game, let the fun begin excellent drugs, let freedom ring! ah, would that I could be a star an athlete with fame renown I just sign here and here’s my goal all I do is sell my soul November 27,2013 July Standard Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand July 9, 21017

Come on now, Ralph. Not all athletes are bad. There are a few but there are a few bad one's in every walk of life. Really not right to throw3NS everybody under the bus. It is a good write though.

Hi Daniel: Please forgive me. It is a satirical poem but you are right.' I'm a great fan of many athletes. I got carried away on all the incidents at the time.I will revise this poem.

Tyson bit off a part of Hollyfield's ear. Hollyfield won. The other incidents mentioned really happened.
