There was a teen boy named Dan

Who ran laps around the block

His mission was to lose weight

Each night before eight o’ clock

 

Yet poor Dan became discouraged

By verbiage from the school’s coach

He said Dan would never play

When the football days approached

 

For the local football team

Led a dream of loyalty

But Dan’s torch carried a will

With passion fulfilled to be

 

Fifty pounds less, months later

Now braver young Dan tried out

Football left him qualified

He was witnessed by a scout
