The Crazy World of Sports
In the crazy world of sports,
A player’s age reflects,
On varied fields or surfaced courts,
What everyone expects.
For athletes in the 40’s range
Or those soon closing in,
Will likely see a subtle change
In what they need to win.
Perhaps their bodies just don’t move
As quickly as before
And even if they find their groove,
It’s tougher, now, to score.
In much of life, our wisdom grows
And elders, we are told,
Should be revered, but in the pros,
The young ones earn the gold.
