Football Field
Football Field
By Isaiah Lorenzo
We go to the park early in the morning
The sun is still rising
The sky is pink, orange, and yellow
It smells like chili and hot dogs
from the concession
Sounds like everyone’s pumped to play
I find my bright yellow team
We are playing in the hot sun
I get subbed on the sidelines
It is blazingly hot!
I get a wet and moist towel around my neck
It is like the north pole on my neck
I go back to play
Now it is like the sahara desert
I am dying in the heat
Our game’s over, we win!
Now it’s time to go to the beach
