Three days before
Christmas, was all they could think,
And they all seemed
to forget why they came to the rink.
Talking pre-game, the coaches all said,
Please get the “sugar cookies” out of your head.
You must come to play, good effort and try,
But all they could think was if Reindeer could fly!
Down by “one” with a period to go,
It seemed like they were skating in three feet of snow.
While not disappointed with simply the loss,
It was the lack of effort that ticked off the boss.
Talent they say, we have a lot,
But without hard work it will all be for not.
A good first pass, heck maybe two,
Will be what we need to carry us through.
And I heard his say as he road out of sight,
“Keep an F3 and you’ll be alright!”
As discussed in the room, please don’t lose the lesson. February is just six odd weeks away.
