Football and Football

J. Stearns

Free verse
Football is a sport
Two different types
I have a favorite
That I can not say

They both involve a ball
Just different shapes and sizes
One is more hands based
And the other is more foot based

One is higher scoring
The other is lower scoring
They both have the same name
But are very different
