Pretending To Watch The Super Bowl

Every year, one game
two teams, I never know which.
I even enjoy it sometimes;
no, enjoy it all the time:
the pretending, I mean.

Now this is the definition of that humor and sad face mask.
Enjoyed the communication between your mind, heart,
and your reality.

Good one.

Oh but this year I was watching every play.  My Seattle Seahawks were playing and I relly thought in the first quarter they were going to take them.  Joyce

I have never been a fan of the game, though I used to have a certain guy interest..... I lost touch with it completely while my sons were growing up, each of them 'way too big, and I wanted to keep them away from the sport. I've never known a man who played football, who didn't have old injuries to deal with at thirty, that shouldn't have bothered him until he was twice that age -- just didn't want my sons afflicted. The last football team I actually cared about in a Superbowl, was quarterbacked by a guy named Len Dawson....If you're a fan, that'll tell ya how long a haitus it's been for me!

Good game though, and I did enjoy this one!

I enjoyed seeing Len yesterday... even though I have to admit my enjoyment was tinged with a bit of regret at seeing all those young turks no longer young... 'cept maybe in heart. *S*

But... back to the poem. *S* You write of one moment... but it's applicable to so many aspects of life... something you do so deftly it looks easy... when it's not. *S*

So much said in so few words... and reading just doesn't teach me the how of it! LOL

Excellent write, my friend.
