Goal!

A subject I know nothing about!


Four four two,
Three four three,
Equals ten,
But what 'bout me?

There I am,
Every game,
Amongst net,
and white wood frame.

Have no fear,
Stretch and Strain,
Grab that ball,
Three points to gain.

Awesome strikes,
From their side,
Ball goes in,
I'm villified.

Second shot,
I deflect,
In the stands,
Outpoors respect.

Hour and half,
Stand and wait,
Save or miss,
They love or hate.

...you would enjoy a painting by Raoul Dufy -- * The Winning Team * 
 
As a temporary hockey goalie filling in for another ( and now with three navels to prove it ! ) I appreciate your effort.

We always said goalies were mad...

In fact we say "he's away with the goalie" - when we mean there's a few slates off his roof. 
 
Well done!

They never see the goalie  
Should we win, 
But they'll always notice him 
If he lets the ball go in. 
 
I really liked it, short, terse, and spot on. (Don't mention Penalites to Goalies.)

Yep, goalies are mad. Liked the style, captured feeling well. 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil.
