We had the ball! I was shouting to the players, “Sit on it, sit on it fellas, we’ve got to hold on to that football!” 1 was shaking in my shoes, we were so close to a victory, the first victory in the history of the school. Tick, tick tick, the clock moved on, slowly and surely. Two minutes to go, we still had the ball, then a fumble. Oh God, we had lost the danged thing again! My heart jumped and pounded furiously. This was no place for a weak heart. I watched, anticipating every move. I saw the pass from the opposi­ tion hit the air, I watched the receiver snatch the ball out of the air, and then I watched him carry it in for the winning score. But wait! A flag was down! A penalty, the ball was called back! I was jumping up and down, the clock ran out, we had won! I was so happy I could hardly stand it. One of my players, the same one I had chatted with the first half, came by, took one look, and chimed, “Coach, you’re crying.” I looked at him and smiled, “Yeah, I’m crying.” THE CREEPING JOHNNIES Here they come! Whispering, sighing, feeling Their way through the trees. Here they Come! Veiling, hiding, masking Everything in their way. It was warm before. Now they are here! Turning everything COLD, COLD, COLD, OH, SO COLD! My Singing Tree is silent Oh, so silent. Wrapped in a mantle of Wisping, clinging, grasping Creeping Johnnies. Ah! there they go! The sun is glinting through The Singing Tree, silent no more. Is happy that they are gone. —Carolyn Adams � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
