The Elitist Jock I Could Have Been

A Poem by Jane Lockheart

What I would never become.

The Elitist Jock I Could Have Been

The elitist jock I could have been would always have the most expensive gear. A new bat every season. Jerseys from every major sports team out there.

The elitist jock I could have been would be good at every sport. Master every move the first try. Think there is no need for improvement.

The elitist jock I could have been would make fun of someone who couldn't play as well. Have his famous phrase, "Face it, you will never be as good as me."

The elitist jock I could have been would be surrounded by his followers. The people who can't think for themselves and are as big a jerk as he is.

The elitist jock I could have been would only be concerned with himself. Wanting to be better than everyone else. But that's not me. I'm a team player, and everyone knows it.
