No Shot On Goal Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Muscles stretched and strained
They are the machines that run the body
Sweats dropped and splashed
They are the wastes of the body's metabolism
Eyes ran round to pick moves
Suspicious of the opponents
Ears expanded and collapsed in anticipation
Of dangerously cunning moves
Opponents were never relenting, too
All shots went the opposite side
Many shots went away from here
Neither went on goal
Nor in goal
We lost the game! ! ! '
