Rooting
To watch something competitive
You have to pick a side,
With someone you can root for
And with whom you feel allied.
It could be sports or politics
Or various awards
Or venues like Medieval Times
Where knights wield shields and swords.
For when we are invested
In the outcome and we root,
Excitement bubbles up and often
Joy will follow suit.
It’s fun to cheer our favorites on
For even if they lose,
Absorption in the chase replaces
Boredom or the blues.
