We Will Have the Blessing--NOW

Mama’s Thanksgiving plans went awry. Football lovers might understand why. Mama called for the blessing. Everyone was obsessing over touchdowns. Mom uttered a sigh. “Keep the food warm till two,” Daddy said. A huge turkey leg glanced off his head. To the table, all scurried, for they’d grown rather worried Mama might next be hurling the bread.

I don't blame Mama for losing her cool!! A thanksgiving meal is supposed to bring family together; maybe recording the match and watching it afterwards would make more sense! ~ Regards // paul

Everyone knows that when it’s pubs or football, you use the ‘Inverse Actuality Divided By The Exponential Incremental’ rule. Which in plain English means ‘THEY LIE’. Oh well, a cold dinner, but a hot WIN! Congrats, Janice.
