Sweat - A Children's Poem Read this poem about sweating when playing sports. Do you sweat as much as this kid does...? Do you quench your thirst with sports drinks?? :}

** FUNNY POEMS FOR KIDS **
The kid in this sweat poem sweats so much while playing baseball he can hardly stand at the plate waiting for the pitcher to pitch the ball. Of course, baseball fields are often quite hot especially during summer play. Players can get away from the heat for short breathers while in the dugout. Out on the field, however, they must take what the sun and the rest of the weather dishes out.
Water aplenty is what baseball players need to help keep their sweating in check; or at least, cool their bodies and moisten their throats. Sports drinks come in handy during these hot summer games even more so than they do in cooler months' play. But getting back to the boy in the poem... the author wonders...
Sweat
by R. Renée Bembry
My Sonny Boy
My Sonny Boy
He likes to play the sports
He gets so hot when he plays
He drinks water by the quarts
His tiny pores
Get gigantic
As sweat pours
From his hands and neck
His back
His feet
His head
His face
Make sweat drip
All over the place
After the game
I take him home
To take a bath
And get fresh clothes
He drops dirty duds
On the floor
Piled in front of
The bathroom door
His funky socks
His funky shoes
When I see them
I'm not amused
I walk in and
I see a bruise
Under his eye
And it looks new
I say
Hey
When did you get hit
You didn't cry
You didn't flinch
He says
Mom I'm a big kid now
I wipe the sweat
Under his brow
