With the most beautiful cadence you will ever hear:
Down. Set. Hut!
Bursting like a  jet going zero to 100
Cutting and shifting,
The boy had one mission:
Get the first down!
As the Boy clutched the pigskin ball,
The world was in his hands.
However, as he bullied his way to five more yards,
Suddenly a new cadence intervened:
POP TWIST SNAP.
He was down.
The boy’s future was no longer set
And his once mansion-sized dreams
Were now reduced to a hut’s rubble.
Crushed Leg!
Broken Bones!
Shattered Dreams!




With the most beautiful cadence you will ever hear: Down. Set. Hut. Bursting like a jet going zero to 100, cutting and shifting, the boy had one mission: To get the first down. As the boy clutched the pigskin ball. The world was in his hands. However, as he bullied his way to five more yards, suddenly a new cadence intervened: POP. TWIST. SNAP. He was down. The young boy’s future was no longer set, and his once mansion-sized dreams were now reduced to a hut’s rubble.
