Note From a Giants Fan

The New York Giants 
are playing today
Watching football is exciting
Yes, it is violent 
and people get injured
But the players know what they
are getting into when they decide to play it
They do it for the glory 
and considerable financial rewards
I played touch football as a kid 
and marched down the field at high school games
trying to play the French Horn in the marching band
Autumn is football season
and brings cool air and the changing of the colors of the leaves
I enjoy wathcing cheerleaders 
and live vicarioulsy thorugh the medium of television
At 4:25 P.M. 
The GIANTS will be playin
I intend to watch it 
and root - as I always do 
for the NY Team

I like your style of poetry. Because, It is you and not trying to impress me with anything. I find that refreshing and relaxing to read. Panagiota

I watched numerous high school football games in my youth. To this day, I have no clue what I was watching or how the game's rules are played. Anything that complicated and dangerous too is not for me. But i realize it has overtaken lovely baseball as the most popular sport. Nice tribute for it.
