The Football

I'm a football, I am a special edition San Diego Chargers football, why am I in Kentucky? Well my owner went to a game in San Diego and saw me and had to have me, he kicked and screamed for 40 minutes to get convince his parents to buy me for him. For weeks after buying me I was used constantly, never left his side. Throwing and catching for hours, it was great! When he got home he put me on a shelf in his room and played with me all the time. But slowly he grew up and more and more I stopped leaving the shelf, I was battered and bruised from hitting the concrete in front of my owners house so many times. Its been three years since I was bought and I never leave the shelf, my owner has grown up and wanted a new better, bigger football; and, he doesn't even like the chargers anymore! I think today he came home with a new college regulation UK football, oh how my life has changed, I don't think I will ever move again unless it is done to get rid of me forever. Oh the life of a football is short and bittersweet.
