Superbowl Fun

(Oh yeah, I've got Superbowl fever! I'm remembering last year's Superbowl game, and looking forward to this year's.)

Superbowl Sunday's finally here
Super charged energy's in the air
Fans don't deny ecstatic elation
We revel in eager anticipation

All eyes are glued to the huge TV
All spirits blend in harmony
Lots of hot dogs, chili, beer and chips
Friends, laughter and witty quips

"Aw man! I love this game!"
".#*^$#::!! Is he insane?"
Players piled high upon the ground
Penalty flags are all around

The game continues, the fun goes on
And once again, the blitz is on
Luckily, the quarterback completes the throw
"Whoa, look at that runningback go!"

The player makes a great touchdown
Everyone's dancing all around
We jump, cheer, shout and scream
Finally, victory for our team!

I need to make a bathroom run
Wouldn't go sooner, lest I'd miss some fun
What a great day of superbowl bliss
It doesn't get much better than this

Suddenly, I pause at the bathroom door
Grinning as I remember the score
I realize, much to my surprise
Wow! It just got better, guys!

There's lots more fun for me, to come
The football pool! I've just won!

Super bowl games are not what they used to be
the hype is no longer there
since big business, took over
now what matters most of all
is how much to charge per minute
for commercials
they are getting millions of dollars per minute
so everyone is trying to out do each other
to see who has the best commercial
If you don't believe me
watch the super bowl
what people, are waiting to see now
are the new funny commercials
and the pre/ half time performance
that are taking away from the reality of the game.

Love & Peace

*Go, Seattle* (cringing from all of the Steelers fans screaming "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" LOL

I love the 'Bowl, especially the commercials. Sometimes, they're better than the game. ('Specially if Dallas isn't in it. LOL)

Excellent write--enjoyed.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I love football, and can't wait to have a super bowl party...BUT as an Eagles fan, last year was HEARTBREAKING for me only to be followed up by this year of injuries:( I really enjoyed this poem, and good luck if you bet again- I hope it's the Seahawks, myself :)

Used to be right with you, but since they have allowed out and out criminals to get the big bucks and will not hold them accountable when the rape and murder occur in professional sports, I don't care anymore.
