NUMBER 1

NUMBER 1

Roger A. Davis

Do you have one of those foam rubber hands?
On TV, you see many lifted in the stands
How many times have they spoiled the view
Of feats of sports fans pursue?

Being Number One can have other risks
Like the top gunfighter on the defense
Got to admit, I love watching it on DVD discs
Jesse James, Clint – my, it can get tense

Saw Tiger get his 13 major this week
Two in a row, perfect time to peak
Other areas of life have stars, too
The arts, commerce, politics to name a few

Will Hillary rise to the top?
And will Harry Potter stop?
Box Office and music have a fickle reign
As well as the Oscars and Emmys domain

King of the Mountain, a favorite childhood game
My competitive spirit made it not so tame
It’s the same thing that compels us, you see
To root, play and watch competition live and on TV

I’m one of those underdog supporters
Makes a great byline for reporters
A star rookie or a come-from-behind story
This sets off in my heart shouts of glory

I have to admit, this is who we most resemble
Movies like the Fugitive’s David Kimble
So put away your Jumbo #1
And let others see all the fun
