Shoulder
They can be a lot heavy: The Shoulder;
By the dying felt like boulders;
And one keeps groaning: The Carrier,
As their weight become scarier!
They are the parts we hold high
And passers-by confront confidence
We lower them and there’s “A why?...
On-lookers sniffing diffidence
When shoulders portray blocks,
One has been frequenting the gym
And if as rounded as clocks,
One ceases to seem trim…
Our shoulders now cry for support;
A glance and you pick this report;
Mostly, a tailor-woven pad:
Tops without it Ancient and sad…
Where scorers of goals are joyously left,
The ones who squandered them never kept.
