It's a shame when no one comes to the game and the season's on the line
So much work and not a jerk shows up to see the outcome in fine
As on to the field you do run, no starting gun, the other team didn't come
No fans in the stands no playing of the bands, no foe to succumb
A shocker so back to the locker, team heads looking at their feet
With no one to blame there will be no fame, without playing another defeat

I can't image how annoying it would be if the other team didn't turn up.Interesting poem about the challenge being taken away when the opposition doesn't get involved.Excellent
Thanks David for the read and the review it is most appreciated.
That indeed is sad. Not so sure if that’s gonna change anytime soon. 🙏🏻🕊️
So true Cryptic some feel the best way to win is by not trying. Yesterday was poetry day yet I saw the fewest poems produced and reviewed in a long time.
Take us back to the ballgame or if we are so inclined, back to the ancient palace courts where poetry was a creative and even at times competitive way of communicating 🙏🏻🕊️
Achieving anything by default is invalid really, I played for a football team once that won the last game of the season by the other team not turning up because they thought they would lose anyway, we won the league because of that, but the opposition not showing took all the shine of off it, enjoyed the read
Thank you so much for the read and understanding of the feeling. It is most appreciated
You are very welcome
Ah, the spirit of apathy exudes in this poem. When people just stop engaging and caring to engage. A wonderful metaphor that makes its point well, Soren! Well done, my friend! 👏🐦⬛🖤
Thank you Tristan I appreciate the review and kind words of support. Apathy another word for entropy.
Indeed! You are welcome, my friend!
Good write SB. Yes, I took KP out for an evening, but I didn't turn up. Eh?! Heehee.
That is an example of a peaceful evening. Thanks Orchi for the read and support
Excellent write
Thank you Tony

It can be so awful when others don't show up soren but go away believing you are better than them as you were there.
