Take me back to the time of yore
And let me tell you what we wore
With ball of brown we did our feats
In barefoot cleats on gravel streets
Hup-one, hup two, the ball did fly
'Mongst mottled trees and azure sky
Fly long on left, cut 'cross middle
Call time out and eat some brittle
Our mother's call brings end of game
"Just one more down" is our refrain
Father and son break the huddle
One last time the "D" to muddle
Then we go home and get our eats
In barefoot cleats on gravel streets
Author notes
Hard on the feet, but enriching to the soul.
Please tell me what you think

I like this. Your imagery is great and took me back to my childhood when we played barefoot through fields and towns. Nice nostalgia.
