The Football Victim He rather thought he'd tackle The foot ball fad awhile, Being young and very supple And put up in proper style. So he joined a crack eleven And he practiced day and night, Till, in fine, he quite imagined He was soaring out of sight. Restless was he, much impatient As he labored with a will, For he knew a world was waiting To applaud his clever skill. Time rolled on, as time does always, Till at last it fairly flew, And there came the happy moment For his great and grand debut. Fame was trembling in the balance, A Praise was perching on the lips Of the surging crowd that gathered, Sending up hurrahs and hips.' But behold! the game progresses! See our hero's agile form As it sweeps the field in glory, Ploughing thro' a human storm! if Ik i U if 1 Time passed on as time does always, Crowd is gone-the game is done, Hero still alive and breathing, And behold the glory won: Eye knocked out and finger broken, i Slight contusion on the cheek Voice is sprained and tongue is bitten Cannot whisper, talk or speak, Clavicle misplaced and injured, Sternum twisted out of shape, Nose is bloody, red and swollen, And his other eye wears crapeg Four front teeth, alas, are missing, Knee cap gone, leg out of joint, Duodenum smashed to splinters- Hero fails to score his point. Sutures in the skull are fractured, Dorsal vertebrae is rent, . Six phalanges stretched to breaking, Life's deft spirit nearly spent. Hero dreams of mighty battles Till reaction racks his frame, Then he whispers Where am I at, Take! oh, take my hard won famel' I 3
