A FOOTBALL TRAGEDY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "SHE CLUNG TO HIM, THE GAME WAS O'ER"
Last Line: FOR I AM ONLY HALF-BACK
Subject(s): BOREDOM;FOOLS;FOOTBALL;NONSENSE; ENNUI;IDIOTS;
SHE clung to him, the game was o'er,
Content was in her soul;
"Dear heart, I'm very happy now
That you have come back whole."

With gentle hand he smoothed her curls,
And tried to keep a laugh back;
"My dear, your joy is premature,
For I am only @3half-back@1."
