Here is the poem in written format.

I love sport

I love sport, I love it.
I love to run through the streets with some angry shopkeeper on my metaphorical tail.
I love to vault into the dumpster as I turn the corner.
I love to wrestle with the ‘bum’ over the home I have invaded.
I love to jump out of the dumpster and in true Parkour spirit cling to the drain pipe.
I love to play cricket as I deflect the empty beer cans with my imaginary bat.
I love to do a back tuck onto the hard concrete ground as I lose my grip.
I love to partake in boxing as I try to save what’s left of my dignity.
I love to play kiss chase as I step into the pub immediately after for a beer to finish of the well played game that many call ‘life’.
Who needs a gym?
