For as long as I remember Becoming an athlete was my dream— To score a point, to win a game, To be a member of a team. I pursued the game of baseball; Took a line drive to the knee. I pitched the ball with all my might, The hitter fired it back at me. Thought that I'd attempt some golf; Positioned my ball upon a tee, Swung my club to give it a whack! It appeared to laugh at me. Attended football tryouts; Heard the players discuss a "sack." I wasn't aware of what that was ‘Til they knocked me flat upon my back. Attempted to play volleyball; A player sprang up for a spike. That ball bolted by so fast It was like a lightning strike. Tried out for gymnastics To learn tumbles, twists, and flips, But all I had to demonstrate Were stumbles, sprains, and trips. When it comes to playing sports I'm like a fish upon the land. No bats, no balls, no mitts for me, Just slip a pen into my hand. I might not be an athlete— Nor challenger or fighter— But I can merge the things I love If I become a sports writer.
