my annual Official Christmas Poem

"the comeback kid"

final seconds tick
down to zero,

click

game over - or is...?

she's dropping back, kids!

it's a Hail Mary pass
a Baby Jesus football, caught
in the end zone, defenders
breaking down in tears

pandemonium

as the cheers
erupt
for the home team
Final Score -
- unbelievable!
Saints: 21
Sinners: 23

what an all-time upset

victory

Wow, were you drunk when you wrote this? It's awesome, not that poems are better when written drunk, but some are.... some are....

Nope, not drunk! Watching football.

I wrote that a week or two ago and then "forward scheduled" it to post Christmas Eve at one minute to midnight.

I thought it captured some essential spirit of the season!
