An Ode To Football

Jumping, crunching,
flying, diving,
play action, Hail Mary catchin’ kind of a game,

Bodies slaming, fingers jamming,
will he, won’t he, rolls out, pulls back,
aaannnnd CRACK!, he’s sacked,

Tail gate, don’t be late,
cold beer, colder air,
foam fingers, middle fingers, jerseys abound,

Chests heaving, hearts pounding,
whistle sounding out the seconds,
until the final moments come to call,

The snap is high, placement’s good,
the kick is long, it is deep,
the stadium inhales…

It has the distance, and it’s good!
A thousand hands shoot up together,
Celebration and Jubilation!

I love this game.
