Analysis of Sports



From ages 12 to 22 I was just a regular jock or athlete.
Hustling for the sports machine.
I went to four pro tryouts: three baseball tryouts as pitcher and one soccer.
And one college basketball tryout.  
Cut each time.
I started out getting things published;
So I decided to give literature a try.
400 poems published so I guess it all worked out.
