You are just a little piece of round black vulcanized rubber <br /> <br />Three inches in diameter and one inch thick <br /> <br />Kept in a bucket in ice before every game <br /> <br />But Oh! how you can affect a dedicated team player, a nation, and <br /> <br />Many a devoted old and young fan <br /> <br />For your position on a stick, in a glove or out or in a net <br /> <br />Can affect the fortunes of so many <br /> <br />Yes - your just a hockey puck <br /> <br />But the future of every hockey game depends on <br /> <br />Where you end up every night <br /> <br />So what a great honour for you to have <br /> <br />So stay hard and tough cause we need you to last the whole game<br /><br />john soltis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-a-hockey-puck/
