Today we're back to normal for Saturday Centus, with a bona fide prompt and everything! (Thanks, Jenny.) I'm in a pretty big rush today because my granddaughter is being baptized, so I was glad to see a prompt (below, in red) that speaks to my very soul.

Hollah Back!
Are you ready for some football?
Are you ready for some fun?
Are you ready for the season
when no work at all gets done?
Then hollah back. It's touchdown time!
Just grit your teeth and punt.
Get used to couch potato husbands
yelling "Down in front!"
Say farewell now to male attention
and to emptied trash.
Don't try to catch your guy's eye...
It's on pigskin, downs, and dash.
Give up for now on well-mowed lawns
and clean garages, too.
Keep smiling, girl, the GAME is on.
What else is there to do?

Oh this is so good! You should try to sell it to a beer or chip commercial, really. Great point of view.
Thanks for liking my own. I told hubby what the prompt was...and he asked what smarty mouth comment I had. I told him the story...he laughed...
haha i have the madness a bit...i am filming for the school i teach at so was at a HS last night...i do like me some football...
Nailed it!
Blessings
We were both thinking along the same lines - but you say it so much more eloquently that I.
Nice job!
Great one, Sue...and I LOVE the accompanying music! :)
In our house, my husband and I both are big football fans!
Can I ever relate to this! You said it SO well Sue!
Have fun at Carlie's baptism.
Love the poem and music.
Off topic but would like to encourage everyone to see movie 2016. It will stir your soul I promise.
perfect!!! Not much football watching going on in this house...but that's just fine by me! :)
Love it, lived it (ok... live it:@) and that about sums it up!
Ha! I'm not a big football fan but Jack does enjoy a game or two! I'm so happy it's almost fall, I could care less if a few chores get ignored..except I'm the one who mows the yard!
This is so clever!
LOL
So true! I kind of miss it.
My computer is going out on me so I miss you and blogging.
Hopefully I can save up for a new one cause this one is probably not going to make itmuch longer.
Take care
Love
Maggie
Cute poem, ha! Loved the accompanying pictures. This was really fun.
Oh yes - I've lived this! More so when my boys were home, but there's something about having a game on with game snacks!
It may be boisterous,or just munchings heard as long as they enjoy themselves. Nicely Sue!

So true.
Ha! Well written and now I wonder - did you show this to your husband? :))
My favorite thing about football is the tailgate food.
You have captured the spirit of the season. An in such a lyrical way too!

You have captured the spirit of the season. And in such a lyrical way too!
This was a great poem :D I thought it was awesome! And to say you did it in a rush! Wow! :D
Hahahaha! So funny! Sometimes I wish my husband would enjoy football just enough to watch it with me, but after reading this, I am grateful that he doesn't!
Happy Baptism Day to your little sweetie!
You totally nailed this prompt!
I like the writing ones for a change, too!
PS. I think I know that guy - ha!
