Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Humbling Bumbling

In my senior high school year, I

Was on the football team which got

An awards dinner, it was my

Honor to be picked for the slot

To thank the crowd for all the team.

Just before I got up to speak,

Saw boxer white like a bad dream,

And quickly zipped up on the sneak.

Introduced, I strode from my chair,

Then awful sounding circumstance

Of crashed dishes and silverware,

The tablecloth zipped in my pants.

For the rest of the year there be

"Jock the Zipper" reference to me.
