What Am I Leading Up To

What Am I leading Up To.

You often will wonder what phrases mean,
Like a little lean or maybe even green;
You should try one on for size,
Or to me it might be a big surprise.

Things are turbulent underneath, not on surface;
Performance was like that of a three ring circus;
You should see me in my great auto gravure;
Compared to today was simple, plain and pure.

Run was made right down the middle
By player found to befit as a fiddle;
There might be some Obama trauma;
Should have ended with death of Osama.

Now new Congress is all nestled down
And word has been spread all over town,
Mighty Seahwaks met there greatest goal,
Which was to end up in the Super Bowl.

Sounds like they are starting a new trend;
When game will be tied at the end;
After so hard each one of them did try,
Pass landed in receiver's hands sent from the sky.

From sky view camera all of it could be seen;
Every player looked like a bouncing bean;
Outright owner whose first name is Tall Paul
Ended up with a big trophy and a game ball.

Enjoyed the poem and the game, too(though the game was full of faults unlike your story). It seemed like one of those 'games of fate' (see Giants superbowl win over the Pats with the helmet catch)

So what do you think about the inflated ball scandal. Now I have heard of everything. Yes. You are right. It seems like it was a contest to see who could make the greatest error yet still win the game. Thanks for comment.

It was a marvelous game. Writing poems to me comes natural and is so much fun. I never worry about criticism or what anyone could negatively say about them. My biggest goal is to motivate others to write poems and participate in local poetry activity. James Thomas Horn www.story-telling-around-the-world.com
