I heard Mother Nature say,
"Let's play football today".
Plants versus animals - the teams were picked.
Would the flora all be licked?
The thunder and lightning of the crowd
cheered them on, sounding loud.
While the fauna moved the ball,
barking out every call,
the flora didn't make a sound...
yet they held their ground.
Unnoticed, there among us,
stood the unseen fungus.
Awesome to see the 47th President.
And, soon to be, our new, White House Resident!
Being welcomed, warmly at this game,
Number 47…..elected by popular fame.
The USA chose him to run this nation free.
No longer an ugly weaponinzation tree!
War makers who sucked this nation dry.
Better go find another fish to fry.
No wonder Joy Reid shaved her head.
And smarmy,Don Lemon’s career is about dead!
Joe and Mika, please, go cry in your beer.
Endless negativity and lies, ends in our cheers!

Merry Christmas
Happy Chanukah
Crowded stadium
tailgate parties on
smoking barbecue
beer and booze flowing
chatter, loud music.
Warmth of friendship
high with the drinks
bare chest in snow
one big proud fan.

Band playing

CRAZE DURING FOOTBALL GAME
Up yellows; greens; reds and blue,
tell me! Tell me, who is through?
Passes. Crosses. Headers. Shots.
Volleys, blasters, more scissor kicks
tell me! Tell me, whose on the spot!
Ninety minutes with some overtime
eleven players playing in the field
each one targets to be World Champ!
The strikers and defenders immense
so are Audience claps, dance, rants!
Dripping sweat from turning, running
Tension rising! Twists are rocketing!
Audience wriggling, nonstop cheering!
Thriller, action, comedy plus tragedy,
Oh all are drawn by its classic drama.
Perplex hard attacks, clever corners
rise from a penalty or free kick yell!
Elicits an alarm to goalie keepers' eye
He in eagle's arms and kangaroo leap
Tell me! Tell me, has one scored a goal?
Around the globe, fellas or gents in craze,
amazed and tantalized by Football game!

Take me to a football game,
For a hot dog and beer kind of date.
When our team scores, I will loudly exclaim,
For a play that was so exciting and great!
When they win the band will loudly play,
And we will scream like lunatics in the stands.
With a victory dance to end the day,
We will proudly leave hand in hand.
Does God Care Who Wins a Football Game?
By Elton Camp
There are just a few words I'd like to say
As to things for which it's proper to pray
To request divine blessings is usually okay
But some words border on blasphemy to say
To ask God to bring victory in a football game
Is a prayer that's ignored because it's so lame
Can anyone truly think to God it has occurred
That one team over the other is to be preferred
Yet sometimes here in Alabama where I reside
Victory is asked for Auburn or the Crimson Tide
Folks who to God such a request have named
In my opinion should be most deeply ashamed
The Football Game of the Century
By Elton Camp
So now it’s over and Alabama won
But was it really all that much fun?
How silly it is, I just have to mention
To give a child’s game such attention
Rather, it makes me ask the reason why
Sports in general so many folks glorify
They act as it is their very fondest dream
To measure their self-worth by some team
How much better off society would be
If, of sports fanaticism, we became free
Many serious injuries to players does bring
And from it, corrupt gambling does spring
When I hear “Roll Tide,” I will merely shrug
Far as I’m concerned football is only humbug
The Big Football Game
By Elton Camp
For the game Ralph had the dough
So tickets he hunted to and fro
The party liquor splashed
Ralph ended up smashed
Thus, to the game, he forgot to go
