Forward Pass
It’s half past two on Friday’s waste renamed;
This new one soon will be another slain;
Evolving backward goes a victim blamed,
Where I, as they, do I the same retain.
Approaching three, the night of morning still,
Still on the couch I shall continue on;
A Texas winter spurs a muttered chill,
But I am blanket bare and can’t respond.
At half past three, today, the Texans play.
We’re gonna ground the Jets (not football’s best).
But if I watch the game on Saturday,
God knows that Sunday wouldn’t let it rest.
So what I’ll do to stay a forward glare,
Is pass the game tomorrow through a mirror.
12/15
