It's my

to come -

Music's blasting,
and
We
Popp'in 
Champagne,

around
a hot

Webber Grill
In the 
parking lot -

Got my 
game day apron

Cook'n:

Oak wood Q'd
Baby Back 
Ribs,

Slow grilled 
and

Brushed
in

Got 
a Deep Pot
of
Baked Beans;

Maple flavored,
with
Thick Center 
Cut
beacon strips

Got my
Old Fashioned
Homemade 
Potato Salad,

thin sliced
Black Olives -
