BUTCH IS GOOD BUTCH IS GREAT


Grandma and Grandpa took the boys to the park
a kids football game was going on
Four boys two on aside
The biggest boys on one side
Butch was scoring one touchdown after another
He would dance and show the boys the ball
"Butch is good Butch is great---
Every other player is in his wake."
Soon Butch came over, "We could use two players."
One of the boys does not play football but sure
Butch gave the new boys his smallest player
First play of the game Butch took the kickoff
After teasing both the little kids trying to tackle him
Our older boy covered the other two boys it was a mismatch
One of Butch's rules being you could pass and it was tackle
Showing them the ball teasing he ran for a touchdown
The older boy is good too--No showoff the score was even
Butch was showing off again teasing the older boy
Suddenly Butch was on the ground the ball loose
The little new kid raising it in the air smiling and laughing
Butch was livid--next huddle, "I'm coming up the middle
Pretend you are blocking and then step aside
The littler of the brother's did not have a chance
He ran to the sidelines holding his shoulder
But hurt he came back into play he still thought it a game
Later you could see Butch setting up the same play
On the other side the defense was in a huddle
One blocker stepped aside and so did one tackler
The ball and Butch were separating in mid air crying Butch ran home
Little of the brothers was dancing,
"Butch is good Butch is great, Butch is on my brother's dinner plate>"
