Hockey

And ode to championships

and wining first place

An ode to the steam

which rises from a face

An ode to the players

who make a living chasing a puck

An ode to the skill 

not just blind luck

An ode for the blood

which flow from an open wound
An ode to the cup
whose appearance will be soon
An ode to the losers
an impending fate
An ode for the winners
who make no mistake
An ode to the game
let us all hope, it remains the same
