The Journey Of A Jock

Mil57Man

The journey of a jock, sports really rocked, the jewels, the pools forget about school. His people were saying, you're being a fool, he ridiculed.

He was in stride on a wonderful joyride. While in the background they'd lurk watching him do all the work, they get all the perks, total jerks.

They'd sham would take the money and scram, left him in a real jam, they didn't give a damn.

As things got funky he soon turned into a junkie. He was full of disgust and mistrust, everything went bust, was feeling life was so unjust, still to come out of that hole was a must.

Alas, he'd been outclassed, felt like a complete jackass. Started to think, what should I do? Prayed for a breakthrough, was feeling so low he had to climb a ladder to tie his shoe.

So he started to panic trying to come out of his slump, kept trying to jump, kept landing on his rump, had to slow his roll he'd hit one of life's speed bumps.

What kept popping in his head was the game of poker, he reached deep inside and pulled the joker. He got over the hump, came out of his slump and whatever they threw, he'd trump.

He got rid of the folly now he's jolly cause he's no longer their boy nor their toy, he's experiencing the real Mccoy, True Joy.

So wether you're on top of the world or the least in the hood... GOD IS STILL GOOD.
