Read the Ten One-Line Poem about Sport by Ian McMillan

Golf	That white moon in the blue sky, orbiting
Cricket	Long late afternoon shadows as the bowler runs
Basketball	The clock runs down slower than the players.
Swimmers’	Moment of stillness before the start: water-mirror.
Snooker	The giant's necklace broke and the beads fell onto the grass.
Football	This net's for catching slippery goal fish!
Marathon	Last metre: the best and the worst.
Rugby	Flying Easter egg under the H.
High Jump	The air holds me like a hand, then lets me go.
Cycling	Here come the fastest paper boys and girls in the world!
