I Am...

I am the one who is boss.
I wonder how far I will go.
I hear the roaring sound of the engine.
I see the ball flying through the two posts.
I want to be the best of the best.
I pretend I am getting the best and fairest award.
I feel the stadium roar as I score.
I worry that I will fall and break my arm.
I hope the petrol will not run out.
I try to kick straight.
I wish I had one million goals.
I understand that it is dangerous.
I say that I will play in the big league.
I dream my team will be on top of the ladder.
I imagine getting most goals in a game.
I believe that I can do it.
I am Neville!
