Example Poem

 Cant Kick


Pants hanging around our butt-crack
We met, said "Howdy", got a bit rowdy
We'd rather play street ball, bounding and bouncing here
than go to the gym or the track.




Track my progress and you will find
I'm a kicker- and no one is quicker.
I simply own this ball game when played on this block.
I'm double-teamed and I don't mind.

Mind you that's in this neighborhood.
Today we we're aiming at taming foes
that kick a wicked ball in Homer's home ground.
There's never been a doubt they're good.

Good enough to stand a real chance.
With me doubled and tripled we did lose.
A loss costs the losers a high-wire pair of shoes.
Next time it could cost me my pants.
