Notes About The Poem

endzone encounters

He's weird with a beard like a brute
Yet Travis with Taylor is cute
We hope she's not miffed
If he is too swift
In bed in his red football suit

Mike, I am glad you liked it...some of us are trying to share some humor, and there is always a little time to talk about things that irritate me. LOL!!!

Good one Duke.. you really do the well.. They were not admitting their relationship or such a long time.. a real mismatch, but they say opposites attract..

It's hard to know what the future will bring. I haven't read the gossip magazines, but I suspect they don't have a great track record. Maybe they have learned what it takes to have a lasting relationship. They are certainly both celebrities with big egos so they have that in common. I think I would rather be with poets and quiet smart types.

Hello Duke, I love your humor and it brought a huge smile to my face. Perfect limerick to follow up the Superbowl. - Blessings, Daniel

Thanks Daniel. I see some of the thoughtful responses you have given me and others, and I'm thinking how lucky we all are to have you here. I hope they are not so self absorbed as it sometimes seems. It's difficult to tell really based on the brief televised encounters. I'm just glad I don't have to see or deal with this too often.

Very funny. I have to laugh. I'm starting to think it wont last after yesterday's game. Not as well matched as I thought.

Hilda, it does seem odd. I don't know what the attraction is and it's up to them. People have a lot of reasons for partner selection. If it's just physical, then I have the same opinion as you do. Egos need to be checked sometimes.

Thanks Kim. I couldn't decide what to use as the first line. I might have said..."He tackled his coach like a brute." I hope Taylor will be OK in the long run.

I’m glad they found each other but Geeze enough is enough. I prefer watching the football players then her reaction to a win. Good limerick, Duke.

Hi Lin, Yes we're happy for anyone who can find happiness in a relationship...and I suppose it's difficult for people so celebratory. However, I'm with you. We know that Taylor's association with an NFL player has helped the league make more money and also boosts ratings since not everyone is like us!

Yes, it's been huge for months and has caused a lot of Taylor Swift's fans to start watching NFL games. It is all rather mind blowing. I wish them well, but wonder if their relationship will last. If they are truly in love and compatible, then they might succeed. They have a huge number of fans. There's talk that she could get a lot of people to register to vote and change the election results.
