Sport Retort
When faced with talk of games and sport,
I seldom have cause to retort.
For dribbling, sparring, touching down
raise no emotions but a frown.
The games I play are just of mind
Less physically taxing and more kind.
Using tongues and brains to spar,
I am more likely under par
than when I hit a pock-marked ball
off of the course to hit a wall,
bounce off and into someone’s car
to be transported to regions far.
I have not thought to scream out, “Fore!”
My terminology’s as poor,
I fear, as my coordination,
I will not, ever, stun the nation
with my prowess with balls or bats,
parallel bars, hurdles or mats.
Likewise, I have no interest in
watching others skate and spin,
touch balls down or thrust a fist.
When it comes to sports, I must insist
when the tube depicts each bout,
I am forgiven for running out!!!
(Thanks for the loan of the golf balls, Jan!)

I’m sitting here with Patti now. It warms my heart that you’ve found and read my blog, Pat. I always look forward to talking to you at every reunion. I’m coming to Cheyenne for a family reunion on July 2 and 3. Any chance we could meet up…Perhaps with Jo as well and other Denver or Cheyennites before or after that? xoxoxo Judy

You should meet my sister in Fairbanks AK; she travels with a bag of tiles and sets up anywhere.

at last Judy, a subject on which we appear to have differing views! If you read my post on this today you’ll never want to visit my house. Thank heavens it’s only a game. 🙂 Wouldn’t it be awful if we were all the same. Cheers. Anton

I’m with you! If zumba was a sport I’d be in the team! Otherwise, forget it.
