March Madness

They call it March Madness
  this NCAA Men's Basketball Tourney

For all but one team, though, it's sadness
  as a stinging defeat ends their athletic journey

Kim Rodrigues Date: 3/31/2021 8:00:00 AM This pandemic caused March madness of a different sort. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/1/2021 7:20:00 AM Well, the NCAA is going smoothly, at least. Only one game canceled so far. :) gw

John Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/1/2021 7:24:00 AM It's all so strange, these games without crowds. They seem like glorified scrimmages to me. Wait 'til next year, as they say. Take good care, John. :) gw

Robert Pettit Date: 3/30/2021 7:15:00 PM A lot of favorites were upset this year. It seems like sports related poems don't get many reviews, and some don't get any at all. I was glad to read this one. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/1/2021 7:26:00 AM You're right about sports poems here on the Soup. I'm with you, esp. as I like to write them. NCAA, all the way, Robert! :) gw
