Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!

It's that time of year again! One of my favorite times of the year!! FOOTBALL Season!! Last night, I attended our 1st hometown High School football game and I got to spend that time with some friends. It was so much fun! As I sat there, I remembered a poem that I would like to share with you all. Not only does this apply to football, but to all sports played by boys and girls alike! Our boys played a long hard game, and I am extremely proud of them! Although this did not apply to any of the fans within my earshot last night, or maybe not to any of the fans in our stadium, I am sure that it applies somewhere! So go to your High School football games and cheer on your boys!! Just remember one thing: They are just boys, not men!! Read on!!

Please don't curse that boy down there

He is my son, you see;

He's only just a boy you know,

He means the world to me.

I did not raise my son, dear fan,

For you to call him names;

He may not be a super-star

And these are high school games.

So please don't knock those boys down there,

They do the best they can;

They've never tried to lose a game,

They're boys and you're a fan.

The game belongs to them, you see

You're really just a guest;

They do not need a fan who gripes,

They need the very best.

If you have nothing nice to say,

Please leave the boys alone;

And if you have no manners,

Then please just stay at home.

So, please don't curse those boys down there,

They'll hustle 'til they're done;

And win or lose or tie, you see

To us, THEY"RE NUMBER ONE!!!
