Giant Game

I'm not a Giant
Only a poet
The crowds cheer
  at the 
stadium
and drink a lot 
of beer
The Giants are doing 
as well as 
the economy is
That means
    not very well
at all
Well, another reading
   Let's read our 
stuff folks
   If the Giants 
lose today , they lose
If they don't publish it 
they don't 
    Keep on trucking1

Ha ha ha, I know nothing of sports, but I feel this is more about poetry and how we just go on despite all the crap. I enjoyed this one, matt. See ya later! andrea

Well I am a Giants fan too Matthew and they are my fav team winning or losing but I prefer they win.. good game yesterday.. on the edge of our seats kinda game.. exciting as your poem I just enjoyed reading... hope u were able to participate in the "football" project that is in the works with a few of us... your poem has made my day.. only 7 games left (I think) and hope the Giants are atop the NFL East when its all over.. keep rooting .. and writing .. luv..

Soup mail for you, Matthew! We're doing a football poem and I thought you might like to add a few lines. Love, Carolyn

Gee, I hated to see the Giants lose their last few games after starting the season so well. I'm a big fan of Eli and Peyton Manning, so I'm off to watch the undefeated Colts! It's nice to see so many football fans on the Soup. Makes me feel a little less "odd." I'm pulling for both Manning-led teams today! Love, Carolyn
