Round Leather Game

by Lawale Yusuf, 2005

There are ten each on both sides
One each between each uprights
One,belongs to neither side
Little noise in his palm
Red and yellow in his pocket
The round leaves the center
Makes for the side of the turf
A leggy force takes it past zillions of element
To the white-lined box
Where a hairy object knocks it
Past a duo of gloved hands
Into the famished basket.
Goooal.
