March Madness II

There is another March Madness
and it also happens every year,
there are shouts, cheers, and a tear...
I wonder if you can make a guess?

The fans - they dress in all sorts of wild gear,
and there are office bets placed all around;
the brackets are made and are NCAA bound
and no Madness is the same from year to year.

Can you guess what this thing I rhyme is all about,
or are you like some who really don't care?
But watch and you'll see some amazing air
for basketball fans - March Madness carries real clout.

Now I know this isn't about the blues,
but I wasn't in the mood to make you sad,
so I wrote this piece, I hope you're glad...
the March Madness cure - Basketball shoes!

LOL I get all stressed out watching football, so I'm sure basketball fans feel the same way. A unique approach to the theme, George. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

yep, I was in the second line description you gave of people in stanza three. haha. But I do recall enjoying the games of my highschool when I was cheering for the cute boys of our school!! I hope you are a basketball fan and not football! Basketball is so much more fun, as you point out here!

I'm laughing out loud, George. I just posted a poem on what I do when I get bored by basketball. Thanks so much for supporting my contest! Love, Carolyn
