Ball Game!

His eyes are fixed on his team,
Muscles are like 1 heavy brick,
Body is covered in body pads,
His guernsey is as white as clouds and as thin as mesh
But as stretchy as elastic.

The grip on the ball is so strong
It's like you're holding a metal pole
Skin is the colour of sand,
Expression is as fearless as a warrior.
