Lawn Battles

The rivalry between armies is strong,
Equal in strength and number.
Every battle is 90 minutes,
Each ending in one’s demise.

The armies are only 11-strong
And carry no swords or guns,
Yet they come out bruised and bloody;
Sometimes, it’s even worse.

When the 90 minutes come to a close
And a whistle’s shriek sounds,
Some heads are high and some are low,
Yet both armies talk as friends.
