On the iPod, “Can’t Stop The Feeling” by: Justin Timberlake
Ode to soccer accessories...
56 soccer games, 7 pairs of black shorts, 12 black soccer socks, and 16 shin guards of course...
It’s crazy and awful and terrible you see because I must have a black short and soccer sock wearing monster doing laundry with me.
In June of 2017, I bought 4 pairs of black shorts, soccer socks, shin guards and new cleats. Each week comes and goes and it’s frustrating to me that I’ve added pairs and pairs of all stinking three. And today the night before the very last game I’ve searched high and low and now feel totally lame. I have rainbows of colored shorts and neon socks in a stack, but you know what I’m missing 19 things that are black!
So as I stand here covered with piles and piles of clothes with fire hot steam billowing out of my mouth and my nose... I think to myself about that monster you see, he is hiding somewhere just laughing at me. Wearing layers and layers of soccer supplies, I hope he is happy cause I’m breaking the ties! Soccer is over this year and it doesn’t pain me to say that I won’t shed a tear at least not over black shorts in May. Bye bye little monster don’t you come back here at all and I better not see you... at least until next Fall!
