For as long as I remember
Becoming an athlete was my dream—
To score a point, to win a game,
To be a member of a team.
5 I pursued the game of baseball;
Took a line drive to the knee.
I pitched the ball with all my might,
The hitter fired it back at me.
9 Thought that I’d attempt some golf;
Positioned my ball upon a tee,
Swung my club to give it a whack!
It appeared to laugh at me.
13 Attended football tryouts;
Heard the players discuss a “sack.”
I wasn’t aware of what that was
‘Til they knocked me flat upon my back.
17 Attempted to play volleyball;
A player sprang up for a spike.
That ball bolted by so fast
It was like a lightning strike.
21 Tried out for gymnastics
To learn tumbles, twists, and flips,
But all I had to demonstrate
Were stumbles, sprains, and trips.
25 When it comes to playing sports
I’m like a fish upon the land.
No bats, no balls, no mitts for me,
Just slip a pen into my hand.
29 I might not be an athlete—
Nor challenger or fighter—
But I can merge the things I love
If I become a sports writer.
The Junior Detective
Marie Devers
Here’s a quick biography of how I came to be, 1
the junior lead detective who researches fearlessly. 2
The probability, I find, is just as good as coincidence 3
that I’ll find some hidden mystery by watching some events. 4
This vocation, fair and true, I stumbled on one day, 5
and the verdict was that I’d pursue each fact that comes my way. 6
When I find a question that requires investigation, 7
I pull out all the stops and start my thorough speculation. 8
I believe in accuracy, and truth for all involved, 9
and always staying neutral ‘til the case is all but solved.10
Each occurrence that I witness is a clue to ponder ever—11
‘til I take the case and make it my own personal endeavor.12
I interview each villain, and I never give an inch. 13
I notice all the ticks, and I explore each blink and flinch.14
I ensure each alibi is honest; I check each testimony, 15
and I find the real exception and expose it from the phony.16
