3rd Down Conversion

Folder: 
Vintage Words

. 

I am learning

Football terms.

.

Badly.

.

Third down has so many

possible meanings that I pause,

locked inside the etymology.

.

Conversion to first down

usually is conversion from rushing

to kicking instead of the hoped

for three more downs.

.

Fourth downs

are bad ideas, I suspect.

I keep imagining goose

feathers.

.

I think I need more

3rd down conversions

In my life, a repreive from

all those over-thrown

4ths.
