One day the big animals and the little animals
decided to have a football game.
As the first half went along,
the big animals were scoring at will.
Every time they got the ball they
would run it in for a touchdown.
Then came the second half..
First play: The elephant runs the ball up the middle.
WAP!! Tackled for a five yard loss.
The little animals go back to the huddle
cheering and congratulating each other.
"Who made that tackle?" asked the ant.
"I did," said the centipede.
Second play: The rhinoceros runs the ball up the middle.
WHOMP!! Tackled for another five-yard loss.
Back in the huddle the flea asked,
"Who made that great stop?"
"I did," said the centipede.
Third play: The gorilla tries an end sweep,
led by the hippo throwing the lead blocks.
SMACK!! Centipede tackles him for a ten yard loss.
Back in the huddle, the gnat asked the centipede,
"Where were you in the first half?"
The centipede replied, "Puttin' on my shoes!"
