  4. Been away. Trying to catch up.
    Yes, I can identify with this lovely haiku.
    Many a burst ball we had. But in those days the bladder could sometimes be repaired and the ball kicked again. The danger of course was the end of the fastening-lace catching you in the eye when you headed the darn thing. It could weigh half a ton on rain-sodden days. Drove your neck into your shoulder blades.

    calls for his football and smiles
