John's Fantasy
by Shelby M. Forrest


John likes to play all kinds of sports
But football is his game.
He would like to be a Packer and
Get in the Hall of Fame.

John once jumped high up in the air
A "Hail Mary" pass to catch,
But alas, his leg began to itch,
And he had to stop and scratch.

He fantasized he's a Viking end
With five seconds left to play.
He caught a deflected ball in the air
And ran it back all the way.

Now John is only twelve years old
With many more years to go.
He might live out his fantasy,
But how will we ever know??
