Poem
It was 1988 
And things seemed great 
I walked off the stage 
With a degree at the right age 

There were changes abound 
As I entered life’s next round 
One happened a few years later 
When bowl games needed to get things straighter 

On New Year’s Day Night 
The Orange Bowl was colleges big time sight 
Granted on another network sugar was being splashed 
With this game that could springboard one to nice professional cash 

With a nice halftime show 
It was a nice way to let last year go 
But there was one network’s selfish greed 
That tarnished the gridiron holiday gift underneath the tree 

They wanted it all 
And stopped at nothing including putting the parent company’s store in the mall 
Due to this obsession 
Athletics saw nothing that would define the word recession. 

More bowls were put in place 
To allow every student athlete a chance to build their talented case 
But it was the Orange Bowl who had a foe 
Direct from Epcot France featuring the French Quarter drunken trance. 

New Orleans had the party the night before 
Hours in front of midnight when they showed the old year the door. 
Someone in a yellow jacket made the shift to compete with the King of Orange’s tropical gift
Now the viewer needed to do a little remote control clickering  
To ease the family’s bickering. 

Today King Orange will stay out of the way 
Of New Years Day 
Instead they play a day before we say goodbye 
To the year that gave a good try. 

With a team from the VA that will need a good military strategy to find the winning way
And another team from the north part of the state it should be a nice game that is worth the luring bait 
But it is that wonderful halftime production 
That has found itself through the years getting reduction 

They have tried everything 
Including getting celebrities to sing 
To combat this couple minutes of rest 
That makes the players ponder on how well they are doing on the gridiron final exam test. 

In closing good luck to the two teams 
As they deal with tropical greens 
Finding out what everything means 
While playing this game in their dreams.
