Life challenges once I got old
Such balances as do as you’re told
Really ironic to me
How much I pee
A goal not to miss toilet bowl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The kickoff hangs like a question mark~
sudden death rules apply.
Fourth down, and the play clock’s ticking
while the blitz crashes in, unblinking.
A Hail Mary arcs through the frozen dark,
a spiraling gamble against the sky.
The end zone waits, arms wide or stark~
did it catch? The crowd holds its reply…
The roar of the crowd, a sea of red,
A kingdom united, hearts and heads.
Mahomes' magic, a dazzling sight,
And Soaring through the air, with all his might.
The Kansas City Chiefs, a team of fire,
Their passion burns, reaching ever higher.
Through trials they fought, with grit and grace,
Now victory's smile lights up each face.
To New Orleans they journey, a grand crusade,
For the Super Bowl crown, their legend is made.
With every snap, every run, every throw,
The Chiefs will conquer, and make their kingdom glow.
A phenomenal day not writing poetry..
Watching excellence and physical symmetry!
Creativity in the ads were total artistry…
Halftime show done, with needed decency!

YAHOO
On his way to another Super Bowl
Patrick Mahomes is on another roll
He does just barely enough to win
And then displays that silly smug grin
Some Super-Bowl bound teams thrash their opponents
Philly crushed Washington 55-23, creamed ‘em like donuts
Mahomes and Kansas City let Buffalo think they’d finally got ‘em
Then drove a spike in their heart ~ Bills ended up on their bottoms
Off to see the Super Bowl in Vegas, fullfilling a lifetime dream
People from all over the world gather to engage in the excitement , and to chher there favourite team
Vegas with its reputation for being such a vibrant and fun loving place to go
A trip to the casino a place where you hope to see your money grow
With first class entertainment to be take in , we will surely make all the rounds
A walk down the strip engages all of our senses , with so much energy to be found
Ticket prices for the game from resale brokers nearing ten thousand , completely insane
However you may get a glimpse of Taylor Swift , and of course Usher at halftime of the game
Prices go up for everything with the Super Bowl in town
With so many people acting up from so much liquor , someone from the circus should be out recruiting some new clowns
As they say some things are priceless , a lifetime memory I am sure
With so much money bet on the big game , a little of that would be nice to secure
Lidar uncovers what is beneath.
Liars reveal their teeth.
Whores ride a Beast.
Super Bowl Halftime Show Fleecing Theme;
"pRINCESS conjures up demons,
for her grammy (Lilith) and plays on your
emotion to not consider what is wrong or evil
or family worthy.
In the midst of the bright lights and cheers
of the crowd,
a princess takes the stage,
casting her hypnotic shroud.
Her words dance like demons,
with eros ascending to the clouds-
playing with our emotioned glands,
with harps, tabarets and cymbals,
drums to chakra your heart
beguiling us with illusion,
and persuasion's dark arts.
We cling to her melody, lost in her spell,
blinded to the darkness that lurks,
wishing us to dwell there with her.
She conjures up emotions, tugging at our core,
but behind the glamour lies a twisted lore.
Beware, dear soul, of the princess so bold,
for her burrowed borrow deceives,
leaving our spirits cold.
Let not her song lead you astray,
but heed the call of truth,
before it's too late and you serpently sway."
(..."and if you listen very hard, the tune will come..."
Angel pours out his bowl....
Hey, hey, Diddle, Diddle
Big run up the middle.
They won in over time by two.
With the Super Bowl win
Dinner is a Prime Rib.
Lose, cold humble pie and stewe.

A frugal inventor in Abilene
has finally perfected a time machine
He goes way back in time
brings back beer for a dime
and watches the Super Bowl on his big screen

COVID-19 Instant Replay:
The Super Bowl at Tampax Bay
Where Patrick & Tom
Can stage their sitcom
No matter what the doctors say
Super cold today in Kansas City
Freezing
No ice
No snow
The air is brittle
Brutally cold
My feet reflect this
My toes are icy
I stare out the window
Knowing how cold the glass is
Staying inside
Warm but not toasty
Slightly chilled
Not tempted to run downtown
and park six miles away
So the Super Bowl parade
Honoring the KC Chiefs
Marches on without me today
Kansas City is over her head with joy
First the Royals won the World Series
Now the Chiefs have conquered the Super Bowl.
We are comparing stories.
What we were eating.
How hard we were yelling.
How long we heard fireworks on Sunday.
One twenty-six a.m. I told them with pure happiness.
That's nothing one of our favorite female busdrivers said.
In my neighborhood we can't afford fireworks.
I heard automatic rifles going off until two-thirty-two a.m.
She obviously won the one-upmanship contest.
We had the snacks, including chips
And watched the game in little clips
Including the commercials, though,
Which ones I missed I wouldn’t know.
For grandkids joined us for the Bowl
With seeing touchdowns not the goal,
But rather hanging out to spend
Some time with us; their daddy’s friend
Who lives nearby, was having guests
For Super Bowl, so we were pressed
To watch the kids – a total joy
To host our favorite girl and boy.
I hardly focused on the score
(To me, it’s mostly all a bore)
But I would guess we had more fun
Than, at their party, anyone.
That game tarnished
wonderful blue and gold year
that made me happy.
RAMS FOREVER!
I’m too old for the Super Bowl.
I care not for the game
And every single play, to me,
Looks somehow just the same.
A kick, a pass, a step or two
Then everybody’s down.
Repeat ad infinitum
‘Til somebody wins the crown.
Commercial breaks once made me laugh,
At least a scattered few.
Now more and more I watch them
And I just don’t have a clue.
And then the halftime show! To me,
A disappointing blend
Of posturing and thugginess
I couldn’t wait to end.
I’m too old for the Super Bowl
But I’ve an alibi
At least for this one, ‘cause my grandkids,
Game-time, stopped on by.
