While you think, enjoy this poem dedicated to David Horst. It is written in iambic tetrameter (a meter used by Lord Byron)

Ode to a Center Back

Our David Horst will take the field

And broken runs his strength will yield

With slides that make a strong man weep

and earn a nod from our goal keep



His headers rarely can be matched

Long legs that simply can't be catch'd

And when his victim makes a dive

"Get UP!" He yells, his eyes alight



Although a red may find him 'gain

For fire of passion, wrath, and vim

we ne'er will steer a truer course

Than when we play our David Horst
