Did join the high school football team,
So older brother Teddy did
Not further smack his self esteem,
Using him as a punching bag.
Football or else, Teddy did say.
Alex thought football was a drag,
And Alex did not want to play,
But life with Teddy could be grim.
Football basics were kinda hard.
First day the coach had to tell him
A jock strap is not a nose guard.

To football fame went The Mad Duck,
Ruffled feathers and gave a pluck.
