WHAT A WONDERFUL SPORT I see football pitch is green. Hockey rink’s always white. How bright are the days, when competitions are in sight. And I think to myself, what a wonderful sport. Court is usually brown or yellow, but sometimes it is not. The shooting range is wide, but not as wide as the tide. And I think to myself, what a wonderful sport.

WHAT A WONDERFUL SPORT Swimming pools are deep, but not as deep as the sea. The horses are racing, racing fast on a hippodrome. I see team mates are ready, ready to play as one. Afterwards they will say, I respect you! I see soccer pitch is green. Hockey rink’s always white. How bright are the days, when competitions are in sight. And I think to myself, what a wonderful sport. x 2 Adapted from What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong by Jovana Radojkovic
