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.
