POLO
A poem by Sue Sally Hale
Man, Line, Ball
Live by the Rules and you won't Fall!
Dash and Dart, Hurry and Scurry
Players and Horses all together in a Flurry
Whistle here, Penalty Shot
there
The little white Ball flies through the air
Hooves and Mallets, Turf and
Sky
Bypass life's cares, as Time goes by
Total Exertion, the Ultimate
High
A true test of Self, The why for which over and over we try
Sometimes unique, yet in the
same breathe quite bleak
This game we play also out of which a living we eek
What would life be if Polo
we didn't play?
This game about Life called "Giants to Slay"
For this we struggle, laugh
and pray,
Hoping to live long enough to Play and Play
The Ultimate goal in which
to believe
Is to pass from this Life out where we achieve
On the field of Honor, that's
covered with grass
On top of a Horse with a Ball to Thrash
This poem
