The quarterback’s a preacher for a day.
And that, I understand, is, all in all,
The story in its fullness. I recall
I’ve wished for simple stories, or a way
To summarize a movement in a line
That fit within a sonnet. This, alas,
Is far too short a tale to give it pass
As poetry. The tale itself is fine –
“The quarterback’s a preacher for a day” –
But there is nothing else of great import.
No scandal, turn of phrase I could distort
To keep the news exciting, or to prey
Upon a reputation yet to fall.
Tim Tebow is a preacher. That is all.
