A FOOTBALL TRAGEDY, by                    
First Line: "she clung to him, the game was o'er"
Last Line: For I am only half-back
Subject(s): Boredom;fools;football;nonsense; Ennui;idiots


SHE clung to him, the game was o'er,
Content was in her soul;
"Dear heart, I'm very happy now
That you have come back whole."

With gentle hand he smoothed her curls,
And tried to keep a laugh back;
"My dear, your joy is premature,
For I am only half-back."
