MY INFERNO -OMAHA



Just
Kicking back
On a Sunday morning
Flipping through
Channels
Looking for something
To capture my attention
I stop
And Football
In on
Not the American
Style football
But
It a soccer match
I didn't even know
We had an
American soccer league

PARADIST LOST

I poor myself
My version of
A martini
Dry Gin
With a splash of
Orange Juice
And then I take
A sip..
Man
It hits the spot
I sit back in my chair
I like this
Where has this
Sport been
My whole life
I am in aww

PARADIST LOST

They are really
Running back and
Fourth
Kicking a soccer ball
And the people
Are going wild
And I’m
Getting drunk
Wow
They are putting
On a real show
Oh man
He kicked the other
Guy
And he fell
Down like he
Was hit by a truck
And I’m taking
Another sip of my drink
I'm thinking
