I played many sports
Some of them not well
The older you get the better you wuz
Mom taught me not to lie
So reality I never wuz good
I got to play the neighborhood games
Because my best friend owned the football
Not popular--I was my best friend
Glasses, six two, skinny I was last chosen
After all it was my ball
I tried out for the high school team
Coach said anyone could try out for any position
I was so skinny I was tired of playing on my backside
The quarterback is kind of a wimp
And as soon as I threw the ball
they could not hit me
First pass I completed all of them
I got rid of that ball fast
I heard the coaches saying,
"Usually passing is the last option.
But did you see that dandy dude,
Tall and very accurate passing.
I think this year we are a throwing team."
First game I completed twelve out of twelve
Half to each of the teams.
I think defense noticed I was throwing early
That's why my high school team
became a running team and I turned out for track
I could Throw the shot put a long way
Then head out it was right next to the javelin pit.
I'm the average 12th man rooting for the Seahawks
