Caught again ! No ! Not with my pants down, but without a camera.( seems if my wife and I own a camera it's lost or non working ) Today, your just a minor player without pictures to show what your doing. So I took to putting words together to create a word picture which must substitute for camera shots.
Goal Intention - Score Goal
All these years laboring
within an athletic constraint,
female lacrosse, a referee's
bountiful whistle buffet,
Casey Downie languished.
On defense, a non sequitur,
constrained to 3/4's field,
not allowed past the line
which divides the play field
into we score or they score.
A few times she pasted it,
charging on in a run out,
but the hardened rule of
the game, female lacrosse,
sent her scurrying quickly back.
Destined forever with a goose egg,
Casey was a favorite of her mates.
They orchestrated a fine coup d'état
by designing an offensive play for her
which went off neatly without a hitch.
As if a trained canine behind an invisible fence,
Casey, motionless, poised to respond, at ready,
waiting for her teammate to retreat back across
the line; in a flash, long striding, Casey attacked
straight at the goalie, stick up, the pass, and shot.
Score ! heard around her World and around ours.
The life of an unsung journeyman finally fading
into an athlete's past. Let the record forever
state : Goals, Casey Elaine Downie (1), unless
before the career ends, more goals are scored.
