Sports

One of the interesting things I've found as I've gotten older is that I really enjoy sports. From ultimate Frisbee (my main sport) to racquetball and everything else I try and play (and I do mean, try I'm not a terribly skilled athlete). It is funny cause when I was a kid I never really enjoyed sports. I didn't like the rules and structure to most games and so when I played with my friends we always did something different. Perhaps if my parents had made me do sports I would have a different view now. I probably would have played football since I look like I could be built for that kind of sport (my great grandfather was a professional player). It is also interesting to think about since someone I knew in high school is now a player for the Seattle Seahawks - it is interesting to watch a game and go, "hey, I took Latin with that guy".

Sport

If I was a good sport would you pick me for the team?
Would I have a spot with everyone else?
Does it matter if I get picked last?
It probably does,
it probably says something about my character,
on how well people like,
and that is too bad,
cause I think you'd like me.
and even if I can't hit a ball,
or run more then 20 feet-
It wouldn't be too bad to have me
as your sport.
