A Referee and It's Whistle

December 10, 2009
By Anonymous

A referee at a football game is the boos of the game
He controls the clock,players and coaches
He can kick out anyone out of the game with a blink of an eye

Whenever he throws his yellow flag
You know something is wrong
It can be a big or even a small penalty
You never know until...
He blows his whistle

A referee blows his whistle about 1,000 in one game
He becomes the whistle
The whistle become him
Every play the referee bends down on his knees
With his whistle in his mouth
And stares down at the play
Ready to blow his whistle
To stop the play

When he blows that whistle
It is like he is screaming to finish the play
Without that whistle
He is nothing in a football game
