When playing basketball
being tall is best it's thought
but that's not all
wearing saggy baggy shorts on the court
needs keen hand-eye coordination
plus being fleet of foot
and have no quibble with dunk or dribble
if through the hoop a Wilson you wish to put.
As for American football
boring from the sideline I find
it's more talk less action
namby-pamby as opposed to rugby
which is wilder less calmer
and without all the body armour
now there's a game with some traction.
America's pastime baseball
is another matter
whether pitcher or batter
with Rawlings or Slugger
when on the mound I have found
unlike soccer or rugger
before a ball the hurler throws
and the pitch is hit or caught with a mitt
first rearrange the private parts in public
twitch the cap and then spit.

Villanelle: Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Or cosmic spins pierce through armoured shells
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets
Make the side win hoards of precious nuggets
Rousing Super Bowl far-flung galaxy yells
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Elsewhere rugger lads break through pelting belts
Asteroid storms of bare bones and muscles
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets
Watch how rugby touch-downs pile-up sweats
Barely kissing ground hugged balls crushed in smells
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Rugbymen fall for foes during somersaults
Some even take home loads of their scented cells
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets
O! Lord of the Nations! Let fear nor threats
Keep you from flexing wills with alien spells
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets
