The Jock


The Jock.
 
By Jenna Williams
 
Varsity jackets and nike crew socks.
 
All you do is sit with friends and mock.
 
Strutting around, thinking you own the place
 
Do you think you can walk a slower pace?
 
You are practiced at handling balls
 
Apparently that means you've got it all.
 
Party it up every weekend
 
There are fights that eventually amend.
 
You move an object from point A to B
 
Why is that supposed to impress me?
 
The winning touch down or a slam dunk
 
Congrats, you are a narcissistic punk
 
Get both of your hands out of your pants
 
You are lucky someone doesn’t tell Mrs. Kantz.
 
I’m surprised your head doesn’t tip with its mass
 
You think you’re king, but you’re just an ass.
 
Thinking you are so cool and full of swag
 
But just seeing you makes me want to gag.
 
Sure, in high school you’re good with a bat
 
But after, “Do you want fries with that?”
