Sports
Sports are the opium of the people
This seems very clear to me.
We get wrapped up with our favorite team
Hoping the new champion they'll be.
Sporting events are a never ending cycle
And armchair coaches we've become.
With the new electronic devices we have
We know how the game should be done.
January brings the Super Bowl
There is hype for so many days.
Now basketball and golf begin
And we analyze each player's ways.
Baseball then takes center stage
Swimming and water polo too,
We're all addicted to watching these sports
And many bet on the outcome too.
Yes, sports can be a powerful drug
And to win is no small feat.
It's a great distraction from our daily lives,
As we watch each person compete.
