They yell at me
Tell me, “Go home!”
Say I can’t see
When doing my job
No camaraderie
Not a female dog’s son
Football umpire, I be!

Folks scream rude names
They yell at me Tell me, “Go home!” Say I can’t see When doing my job No camaraderie Not a female dog’s son Football umpire, I be!

Made me laugh, Dee, when I hit the second to last line. Lots of energy to the poem.

Makes you cringe sometimes to hear the names that umpires get called.

Thank you all for your comments. And Jennifer, I was trying to keep it clean but real. Thanks for noticing! Comments are closed.
