Baby Footballer

Baby Footballer

Baby Footballer

Softly, swimmingly
Deftly defiantly
Softly, swerving
Ducking like a lone duck
Dodging even a bullet
Splashing water
Under the good guidance
Of a proud mum
From a small man
Splashing like a mad duck
Kicking the empty air
Close

Ducking like a lone duck
Dodging even a bullet
Splashing water
Under the good guidance
Of a proud mum
From a small man
Splashing like a mad duck
Kicking the empty air
