I don't like football
by Linda FullerI don't like football: no-necks on parade;
a so-called sport that took back Michael Vick;
mock battlefield where brutes are overpaid;
in fact, the whole charade just makes me sick.
And yet, the Mannings seem like gentlemen,
and Polamalu's hair is pretty cool.
Oh no! Is this an accidental yen
that's overtaking this unwitting fool?
Those bruisers' butts are easy on the eyes;
their grunts are primal, resonating deep.
I guess I see how they could hypnotize
a multitude of drunken, braying sheep.
Though I may be accused of talking smack,
I'll throw a flag on any offside flak.
