Header Chosen
2 to 1 the home team leads
with just a minute left.
A
header from the right, he pleads,
Go in, the team to heft.

The Dothan Eagle, newspaper header
the best in Southeast 'Bama land.
The "Let us go to Dothan" is major.
It's Genesis to quote at hand.


When Joe fell down the rock slide wave,
his backside cushioned the fall,
but his tumbling
header made a grave
'fore help his name could call.

The perpendicular bricks inlaid,
the
header it becomes.
Securing wall as it is made,
the parts, and all its sums.
