Efforts Of The Underdog Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The only game I am here to play,
Is...
'How To Stop That Crap That's Maxed'

The only reason why I desire to compete,
Is...
'The Good Guys Seem To Be The Ones Defeated'

And I...
Support the efforts of the underdog.

Everyone seems to wish,
To kick those down and out.
Everyone seems to desire,
To be everywhere...
To champion despair.

The only game I am here to play,
Is...
'How To Stop That Crap That's Maxed'

The only reason why I desire to compete,
Is...
'The Good Guys Seem To Be The Ones Defeated'

And I...
Support the efforts of the underdog.

'Here...
Get up.
You take the ball.
Hopefully I can block you.
If I get knocked down...
You jump over me,
Finding a space...
To speed your run.
Until you have found,
Solid ground.'

The only game I am here to play,
Is...
'How To Stop That Crap That's Maxed'

The only reason why I desire to compete,
Is...
'The Good Guys Seem To Be The Ones Defeated'

And I...
Support the efforts of the underdog.
I've been there too many times myself.
