Stop crying and stand for
Together we can fight
And when there is
No one left, then together we can
Dance

The end is near
with signs of gloom
the end of summer
where winter looms

Lets not get down
without a good reason
'cuz now it's time
for football season

So grab some chips
some salsa and beer
and tune into football...
The Season is Here!

Why...
do you speak?
Do you like the sound
of the wind wistling
through your throat,
vibrating to make the words
that torment the ears
of everyone around?

Why...
is your hand on your hip?
Must you always show
that you know it all
flaunting your attitude
to torment the eyes
of everyone around?

Why...
do you yell over others?
Is it that you must
always have the last word
to make your point sharp
to torment the heads
of everyone around?

Why...
are you confused?
No one listens to you
'cause their ears are tired
and no one looks at you
'cause their eyes are sore
and no one gives you attention
'cause their heads ache

Why...
does no one respects you?
'Cause you are a pain!

Why?

The bench
Supporting cast
Men of few talents
The star watchers
Few know their names
"No skill", they say
Trading tokens in the money game
Roster holders for the next star
Only put in to give others rest
Pass the ball, set the pick, take a flop
Help the star look good, give him a chance
Never to take the ball and make the shot
Unknown, Unsung, Underrated
Until the big play
The highlight reel
The game winner
ESPN's fifteen minutes of fame
Talk of the town
The hero
Until the next game
Then it's the back to normal
Sitting on the bench

If there is a Tooth Fairy
and Santa Claus
If the is an Easter bunny
and leprechauns
Then there must be
a Sleep Fairy
who closes our eyes
when they get weary
And if I could send her a package
as a FedEx load
I would send it with flowers
and rigged to explode

And then maybe I will finally get some sleep!

Today
I woke up and stretched
My favorite thing
Then I went for a walk
My next favorite thing
Then I ate some food
My other favorite thing
Then I took a nap
More of my favorite thing
Then we went to the park
My most exciting favorite thing
Then I peed on a tree
My best favorite thing
Then I played fetch
My super favorite thing
Then we went home
My coolest favorite thing
Then I ate dinner
My yummiest favorite thing

Then I went to bed....
and dreamed of tomorrow....
and all of my things....

*More of the yummiest, coolest, and other super exciting, best favorite things!
