J. Milton Hayes, ‘My Old Football’.
You can keep your antique silver and your statuettes of bronze, Your curios and tapestries so fine, But of all your treasures rare there is nothing to compare With this patched up, worn-out football pal o’ mine. Just a patched-up worn-out football, yet how it clings! I live again my happier days in thoughts that football brings. It’s got a mouth, it’s got a tongue, And oft when we’re alone I fancy that it speaks To me of golden youth that’s flown. It calls to mind our meeting, ’Twas a present from the Dad. I kicked it yet I worshipped it, How strange a priest it had! And yet it jumped with pleasure When I punched it might and main: And when it had the dumps It got blown up and punched again. It’s lived its life; It’s played the game; It’s had its rise and fall, There’s history in the wrinkles of That worn-out football …
