The twelve
John Clare Stokes
What could we twelve do
when not turning the world upside down
We could split up into two teams of five
Play a round of basketball
With old John and Luke as subs
We could take eleven of us
And form a football squad
With John as the water boy
not sure if anyone would dare
Play us
With nine we could have a baseball team
With a designated runner, batter and several
Pitchers
I think we could beat the Philistine Giants
We could take James and Johns nets
and have two volleyball teams
We could have a great cross country team
Led by Peter and John
Used to running to empty tombs
boy we would shake even the dust on our feet
The only game we couldn’t play
Would be rugby
Where we’d need fifteen
Or if we were Aussies, we’d need eighteen
For football
But that about covers it
And golf
Did I mention the great golf separating us?
Never mind.
