Bye-Bye, Football

Friday night football lights
  His whole life high school sports
A rah-rah father behind him
  Overflowing his shorts

Covid-19 postponed many dreams
  And left an opening, it seems
For other interests to develop
  No longer by sports was the lad enveloped

When football was cancelled
  The young man found a new love
Electrical engineering his fascination
  And so, he decided, his future occupatin

Now football is back, but not the young man
  He's busy studying engineering while he can
As for his stubborn father, he's going to court
  To sue the school district ~ a day late; a dollar short
