Money

Money
By: Sammy
I sit there on the side lines, watching the game,
I knew it was going to be this way,
Why did I even come.
Try after try it ended all the same ,
Baseball, soccer, basketball,
I’m not good at any sports that have a ball.
That’s most but not all.
I started dancing when I was a little older than two,
But when I turned seven
To heaven, my dancing shoes flew.
Because money has always been on the short side, it seems.
The same with karate,
I was good, my master knew,
But the Economy is the Third World War .
Instead of bullets and regimes.
It has recessions and takes away dreams
I now swim,
The money still scarce.
I know this because to practice I wear,
A hand-me-down suit, and no swim cap for my hair.
With our gas prices fluctuating and our unstable economy,
If I gave up a sport again to save money,
It wouldn't be new to me.
