a one hundred and thirty second poem...'little lionel'

Little Lionel’s
Atrophied feet and legs
Are capable
Of many things
Including: nutmegs,
Keepy-uppies, and step-overs,
Thirty yard volleys to
Better Roy o’ Rovers.
Little Lionel’s
Atrophied feet and legs
Together are the
World’s most talented
Set of pegs,
Pins, limbs, ones and twos
- if he’s playing against you,
You’re guaranteed
To lose.
