Wild Zebras At Play?

Can you spot those wild zebras,
trotting across noisy plains of green?
Can you spy them with binoculars,
huddling together in familiar scenes?

Can you observe these wild zebras,
emblazoned with their traditional stripes?
Can you recognize distinctive patterns
of opposing colors of black and white?

Can you form an opinion regarding
the thoughts of wild zebras at play?
Can any semblance of ‘Fashion Sense’
force a duality of stripes to rule the day?

Can you number the size of the herd
or even call out specific zebras by name?
See their necks encircled by dangling whistles,
as they continue… to officiate the football game.

Not sure what game these Zebra's are playing or controlling here we have a few football teams (Soccer to the States) that play in black and white stripes just as your Zebra's that run the field and huddle sometimes.
As with our football supporters there are too many cans on the pitch, your football is a lot different.. Viva le Superbowl.
One of the few games that lasts around one hour of actual play but takes three to four hours to watch lol.
A good write otherwise, Yours Ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
