March On The Field

It's been the the off season,

for three whole months.

The natives are restless,

hoping for next season to come.

Recruiting has past.

Winter has too.

The weather is in the nineties,

and conditioning is through.

The names are on the chart,

first, second, and third string.

Now we're near the end of March.

It's time to see,

what the others can bring.

It's time for full contact,

once again putting the pads to use.

It's time to hear the helmets clack,

as the fresh new cleats,

dig up the grass.

After seeing how everyone looks,

it's time for the freshmen

to get back to their room,

and study their new huge playbooks.
