Swallow or Spit
An original poem by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.
VERSE 1
On a stadium field,
In the bowl that is king.
The losers hang their head.
The winners put on a ring.
As he called out the play
Something slid down his throat.
The loogie was then inhaled
And then he started to choke.
He tried to play on
But he seemed unfit
The QB called for time out
Because he didn’t spit.
What he did was to decrease,
The chance of getting a win.
Now surely he’d be released
By the angry GM.
CHORUS
Swallow or spit .
Swallow or spit.
Sometimes a person,
Has to admit.
It all comes down to swallow or spit.
VERSE 2
On a Sunday morning
At a place called St. Pete’s.
A hundred thousand people
Gazing up from the streets.
Then they saw a cleric do
Something not done before.
He paused to spit down onto
The holy balcony floor.
"Dear Lord, was this a sign?"
Asked the stunned crowd below.
"If yes, was it benign?"
No one seemed to know.
But the Pope wiped his mouth
Then said: “Please excuse.
I was just about to slobber
On my comfy red shoes.”
CHORUS
Swallow or spit .
Swallow or spit.
Sometimes a person,
Has to admit.
It all comes down to swallow or spit.
The End.
