Good Sports
Depends on how one looks at
it, take Cupid for instance, a
sportsman, yes, but good?
That’s questionable, he certainly
certainly wasn’t ecological.
Shooting arrows at the hearts
of perfectly wholesome apples.
Fortunately he missed, although
he did hit a branch and one fell
But, like alley cats, hooligans
and ne'er do wells work in pairs.
So, as the apple was falling
William Tell took aim and but
for a slight gust of wind
the gravity of the situation
would have been a calamity
for evolution and human kind.
Just imagine Newton might
never have caught his Granny
Smith, but, Neil Armstrong
could have walked on the moon
without needing lead in his boots.
