In honor of the World Cup final this weekend (and for Poetry Friday)...
GOAL!
by
Gregory K.
Goal!
Goal!
I scored a goal.
Oh, what a perfect day.
I kicked the ball so hard and true.
Oh, what a perfect play.
Boo?
Boo?
Why would you boo?
This always was my dream:
I shot it past the goalie and...
Oh, he’s on my team.

Hi, Michael - I wrote this poem from a childhood memory (though it wasn't me who kicked the ball into my own goal!). And I wrote it because it seemed funny, too. (Oh... and I'm now from Los Angeles, CA).
