Answer:

Confessions of a born spectator

Poet: Ogden Nash

One infant grows up and becomes a jockey

Another plays basketball or hockey

This one the prize ring hates to enter

That one becomes a tackle or center

I am just glad as glad can be

That I am not them, that they are not me

With all my heart I do admire

Athletes who sweat for fun or hire

Who take the field in gaudy pomp

And maim each other as they romp

My limp and bashful spirit feeds

On other people's heroic deeds

Now A runs ninety yards to score

B knocks the champion to the floor

Crisking vertebrae and spines

Lashes his steed across the line

You'd think my ego it would please

To swap positions with one of these

Well, ego it might be pleased enough

But zealous athletes play so rough

They do not ever in their dealings

Consider one another's feelings

I'm glad that when my struggle begins

'Twixt prudence and ego, prudence wins

When swollen eye meets gnarled first

When snaps the knee, and cracks the wrist

When officialdom demands

Is there a doctor in the stands?

My soul in true thanksgiving speaks

For this modest of physiques

"Athletes, I'll drink to you,

Or eat with you

Or anything except compete with you

Buy tickets worth their radium

To watch you gamble in the stadium

And reassure myself anew

That you are not me and I'm not you
